    Very nice. Great work. I like the shorty bars. The ones on my 700 are not the pull back, and I like them lots.

    Nice work; hope your son appreciates the effort. How old is he? My oldest son is only 15, but in a couple of years I hope to "help" him like this. Not sure his Mom will approve...

    looks good dude... Deadly (good) looking bike, your son is going to have some jealous friends I'd think.

    I Like the fact that you didn't go to town with the black paint. Going all black on a bike with such nice chrome would be a sin IMHO...

    PS: still trying to find time for the dbl kick... busy time of the year for me :)
