Getting close! Still working out the exhaust pipes, and seats are off getting done.

Passenger pegs are welded on. Paint is done.

Will paint the heat wrap on the pipes with BBQ or engine block black.

Also need to get pod filters on it.

No offense, but paint the front fender blue too, after you take the brace off of the bottom and cut it like the top.

That's what I would do.

I always paint my fenders the same as tank.

Good call on the backside of the front fender...I am going to chop that similar to the front. BUT I kinda like the chrome as is, so I think I will leave it rather than paint it.

Why not just take that front fender off. How will the seat end up and how is the reach to the handlebars?...Russ

I thought about ditching the front fender all together, but just decided to do something with it.

Seating position is good. I am 6'2" and I don't have to stretch much.
