Sheesh. If that's chrome paint, you had better results with it than I've had. If you polished them, you must have been REALLY bored. That would be a chore. They look good.

My 5hp decal. That's all I got, cause I have the flu. I did order a pair of pipes, only cause they looked better than my can.

I'm liking this thing more and more. But, in addition to all the detail shots (which are essential for a build thread like this), how about an overall pic of the complete bike as it sits now?

I have the pistons in for the front brakes. Gonna mount the front tire Monday, and hopefully reassemble the wheel, and get that mounted. Bought all the stainless hardware to mount the Webers, but gotta order the eight studs that mount the intakes to the heads. It's been slow these last two weeks, this flu is stout. I have enough together in the next couple of weeks to hopefully get an overall pic. I wish I had cut the frame behind the shocks, and mounted a solo seat, but Mama wanted to ride. It is what it is.
