I'm not a chopper fan, but this one I like. Nice lines, only the bare necessities. I think even that rear fender brace that was "somewhat" negatively commented on fits the style of the bike perfectly, just the way it is,,,,

I'm also not a big fan of the bobbers, but that is NICE. Be careful with the coils that might not take the heat being on top like that. But then again they are out in the open with a lot more air so what do I know? Cool bike. Now you need to make a video and post it up.

Wow! Looks fantastic! One of the best flame paint jobs I've seen too. How did you do the dust boots on the forks? And where did you get that slick headlight?
