That's so awesome, it's... awesome! I love the color, and REALLY love the wraps on the pipes and handlebars. You did great detail on this thing, too. Stunning work!

I agree, awesome, also the strange color.

I would see it with tiner steel rays and alu wheels, but I love, awesome project, great photo skills and graphic appeal.

Congrats!

I will not lie, I am not into choppers at all, but........... this is really a beautiful job!

I love the color scheme and the exhaust, looks great!

I know my response is late but this bike is truly spectacular!! I'm looking at different builds and trying to get a plan going and I find this!! Truly superb!:sunglasse

Spring seat and short rear fender......I love it!

Excellent clean workmanship. The way you did the exhaust is a great feature. You sure know how to build bikes.

Absolute cool-ness. The alterations give it that extra edge too.
