Look's nice. I would want more seat though, but if your happy with it, that's all that matters.

 

Nice paint scheme.

 

not sure obout that seat goin any distance but the white wall tyres look great

 

Thanks. I understand on the seat. I modified the factory seat and used twice as much padding as the one thats on the bike. Just didnt like the way it looked and it sat me up higher. Ive rode it with the seat that is on it now for about 5 hours at most. That was with one short stop. Not the most comfortable but it doesnt really bother me. I seem to always end up sliding back against the fender anyway. Just wanted to sit as low as possible without chopping the frame. Planned on closing in the sides on the front to get a cleaner look just havent got around to it.

 

That looks awesome, you obviously put a lot of time into it.

Thanks. Took it from boxes in my shop to riding it home in a month. And have just been tinkering and riding it as much as i can.

 

That's one good looking bike. I like that you didn't hard tail it.

 

I thought about it but I wanted to keep some of the stock look and still have something that i could ride where i wanted. Around here the roads suck so every bit of spring is nice. I was going to relocate the top mounts forward but at the last minute decided to leave it alone. i still want to tear it down and clean up all the factory welds and smooth everything out. Just been enjoying riding it too much to have it torn down.

 

Normally I don't like white wall tires...with that said your paint scheme ties it all together and it looks great.

 

Thanks alot. I like the black/white contrast. My car is the same way. pic below.

i love the white walls. you consider forward controls?

 

SWEET RIDES MAN!!!!! But where's the seat???

 

Thanks. I have considered forward controls. However with the position of my bars, seat, and where the controls would be it is more than likely going to put be in a position where I cant handle it because of a back issue I have. With that being said there hasent been much modivation to put in the work just to find out that I cant ride it like that. Definetly like the idea though.

 

looks awesome man, diggin' the paint, and the white walls.

 

Nice look! The white-walls really complement the tank. Think I'd like a little more padding on the seat tho too. Great job!!

 

Thanks alot. The seat is always the first thing people question. Its not as uncomfortable as it looks. Just wanted to keep it low.
