I detailed the bike
21 Jul 2008 22:58 - 21 Jul 2008 23:00
It's running fine, so I thought it should look fine.
You will see some of the faults in the chrome, but remember this is 20+ year old chrome. In fact when I had it chromed originally, the platers (at the actaul factory) said something like... this is an aluminum alloy... it will peel.
He was right. most of the faults happened on install or shortly thereafter.
Posted some more pics HERE if anyone is interested. It was easier then uploading one at a time.
I will add some narrative to some of the photos in a post here explaining some of the mods. I sure most of you can see them in the pics.
OLD SCHOOL style:laugh:

Absolutely stunning bike! (Kim is very fine as well 
)
How many pounds are you running? Have you had it on a dyno? Must be sick to ride.
Nevermind, just read the other post. :blush:
