That is pretty close to about as good as these bikes can look, in my opinion. Angry, functional.

Damn that looks good!

Paint? Other than color of choice or something but that paint seems to be in great shape or am I missing something...

Speedo/Tach?
Are you going digital... If so, what are your plans for it?
Meaning, plans for the speedo sensor mounting.

OMR

here is the only gauge I have:

the paint on the tail sux and the side covers are 2 different colors, I'll leave it till winter as I'm having way too much fun riding it right now.

The front end is 1991 GSXR 1100 modified to accept regular bars, and the rear wheel is ZX-9, the rearsets were made by me using some of the ZX-9 components, the swing arm is chromemoly and is about 6" over and also home built, the motor is 1150cc with 13.5/1 compression, 39mm flat slide carbs, before I do the paint I'll be putting on an "A" model tank, they are larger (about a gallon) and look better in my opinion.

Well after tearing the motor down it was only 12.5:1 and now with the J-head it is about 10.5- 11:1 so I can run pump gas with a little blendzall power booster.
