    That has always been one of my favorite Bikes here. Takes a special machine to be able to reside in the living room.

          thanks for the comments guys, a lot of money and a lot of time but i finally got my dream bike.
          im very proud of how it turned out and i wouldn't swap it for a modern day sports bike any day.

                    That really does look nice. I'm torn about the rear sub fender, though. It looks better to me in the pic w/o it. I know it was a lot of work, I can tell just by looking at it. It also has a very functional purpose I'm sure. Maybe if it were black..either way, nicely done. Very unique approach.

                      I'm not usually into this type of custom work, but I can't say that any more. Well done. I found myself scrolling up and down many times to try to capture the dramatic and subtle changes. Great imagination and execution.

                        I do like the old front fender better though. Just a personal taste thing.
