Looks good man! I've never ridden an 1150. Always wanted to try one out. Heard they're kinda sketchy when pushed hard in the corners. If you mastered riding one in the twisties quickly, indeed you, supposedly, are a quite talented.
Might look into wiring up those carbs so they don't hang in the boots so much.
Going "gold" on the frame? That might look trick and tie the rest of the accents together.

ty much Kid,
look close she is powered my an 83 1100, i didnt realize till long after i bought it butthats ok.
as far as the twisties go i am not that talented, fear of pain holds me back,went down at 35 once was enuff for me.
