Looks great! When the first ride comes around and works out it's a good feeling for sure!
Enjoy it!

Sorry for the delay in posting gang, had food poisoning from my b-day dinner Sunday night and finally past it lol, talk about a bit of irony there lol. Well as promised here are the pics. Bear in mind this is very very pic heavy so will have to break up into a few posts....

Well had a great if not slightly chilly ride on Sunday with Pops, went to Golden and looked at a bike he was considering buying but it was much rougher than advertised and guy wanted too much for it so scrapped that. After that just went back through Hwy 93 along the foothills and then stopped and took some good pics of the completed bike and shined up beautifully. Washed her and rubbed on Saya (finally grabbed a name for the GPz hehehe) and had picked up some Maguire's black plastic restorer that I spent quite a while rubbing into all the trim and plastic and it came back beautifully and doesn't look so gray and faded white residue nasty crap anymore! So this is heavy with pics so pardon the long post and pictures but hope y'all enjoy. Oh and my amazing wife bought me besides my bike Saya for my B-day she also bought me a very rare and special bottle of bourbon from Jefferson's that is barrel proof and was aged on a shipping container that crossed the ocean and equator nearly a dozen times and was aged on the bow of the ship, man this amazingly tasty stuff and had a heavy but very well balanced salt and toffee influence. Parents bought me a Denali Soundbox horn since the stock one is so puny that I was worried about not being seen or heard.
