Good stuff, and never mind any negatives about chrome etc. You built it, and you have the bike the way you want it.

Fukking rocks!

i waited a year and a half to post a pic, i cant thank everybody enough for your comments. its great to hear from those who understand.

tires-michelin pilots

bike included i spent about $2,500

as far as how many hours, to many to count. i'm very detailed. i wasn't riding until it was as perfect as i could get get it.
my biggest obstacles where electrical (multiple breaks in harnesses) and relays
repairing plastics is far more difficult then i thought, even after research.
removing all gouges out of covers, exhaust, ect.

many people told me once i got it running to just ride, those where the people i visited first, they all now understand.

this was THE most rewarding project i have ever worked on and there have been many.

thanks everyone again, that was exactly what i needed to finalize the completion of my bike.

i want to share some more photos but this site tells me the files are too large. then i can post the before and some during.

-stay safe

from a crashed bike to that. outstanding work. its your bike, and looks as you want it to, so anyone who dislikes it, can go fornicate themselves.

I got a lot of respect for the person who can start with a beat up or seemingly destroyed bike and turn it into a work of art like yours.
