    This is what I do for a living so it definitely won't be a hack job! The bike has been a slow work and an evolution as it goes. Its a side project so there hasn't been the rush on it. Should be an awesome bike when its done. Everything is new!! Its kind of turned into a bobber/chopper thing but not really either if that makes sense??

    Couldn't decide what to do on the rear fender so here is the evolution there.
    Bike is dropped 4" and stretched in the front 4". Hard tailed.

    Wish those other legal reasons would go away. Too many people driving and smoking pot at the same time. Its gonna have way too negative of an effect!! People are morons! Cali looks conservative compared to CO now.
