        Life is too short to ride an L.

          Very nice indeed. I do like the L tank with a cafe style, a very clean shape to it.

          I did, however, notice that your front wheel is on backwards. The tire and rotors are spinning wrong way.

              I think your pictures are rather small.

              Need to post full-size pictures, and do them all in one post.





              And I agree with Wyldesoule. Your front wheel is on backwards.

              When you turn it around, check the tabs on the speedo drive to make sure they are not bent so they won't engage the gear.

              I also think you might have a slight air leak between the carbs and the engine.

                That looks downright aggressive. I dig it.

                My two cents would be to paint the headlamp bucket black and the trim ring black with red accent to match the rest of the black/red accents theme.

                Either way that bike looks wicked.

                  X2. I know you powder coated both pieces, but some of the black, and maybe the red since there's some on the tail section, would go well here. I probably wouldn't get too fancy with it... probably just black out the ring or the bucket and leave it at that, but then again I don't try very hard with painting designs on my stuff.

                  Whats the plan on the seat? Doesn't work for a lot of people but I really like brown leather. Goes well with silver and black -- dunno about the red though.

                  Can't wait to see it finished!

                    Love it! And seeing as everyone's put their 2 cents in on the headlight I'll do the same... just black the shell and leave the trim as is

                      Just got done cutting the foam for the seat. Thought i would get a side shot leaning over my Dart's hood.

                        i think you've got the carbs where the airbox goes...

                        Really though nice work. I'm a sucker for a silver / red bike I think it just right somehow. Although i would say that the tail cowl looks a bit small in comparison to the tank. just my .02

                        Keep it up!
