    Spiffy. It needs a front fender and about 3" more padding in the seat. (You asked.)

    Unless you don't ride very far or in the rain. Otherwise some very clean work.

    Did the back brake get pulled down and checked for delamination?

    Nobody plans to ride in the rain.

    I prefer it to be fun when it happens.

    easy fix for rain- tie a rag ro hankie around your forks with just 1/8 of an inch touching the wheel, it will wick all the rain off and keep it from shooting at you, done that plenty of times while all the bagger hardlys are standing out side the bar smoking a cig.. and i was in a t shirt and jeans..

    but that bike is frickin sweet

    All those process photos then only ONE of the finished product?! Come on man give that thing some shutter love it looks great!

    Where did you get the seat and tail piece, and did it take much modification to get it to fit?
