Stevo;

Very nice indeed, you have a unique and beautiful motorcycle. What type of rear fender are you going to use?

i also fixed a problem i had by accident, i am 6'2 and felt like i needed a little more leg room, after putting the solo springer seat on it lifted me up some making my legs straiten out. it feels a ton better when riding, also the wire wheels sure make the wind a ton easier to handle.

very nice indeed

Looking good, nice color combo.

steveo3318 · Sep 10th, 2008, 08:08 AM

thanks glider, had a ton of complements on the color combo already, to be honest i seen it on an old bike from the 50's when i was a child and it has always stuck in my mind, that bike and paint job had to be 35 years old when i seen it, so i got my own
