            Thanks, the colors are based off of the GSXR Phantom Edition.

                When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

                  One question...how much would it take to convince you to ship it to me instead of our Kiwi friend?

                  You do nice work. Are the headers done in-house? What is the source of the USD fork?

                    I'm an authorized dealer for both JayGUI Racing exhausts and OHLINS suspension. The front forks are OHLINS USD designed for a ZX14R. Custom billet triple clamps to bring it all together.

                    As for diverting the shipment ... my customer is in law enforcement so probably not something I'd ever consider lol.

                      Yeah, I figured they were megabuck aftermarket wheels. None of the Honda wheels with similar spoke arrangements look that nice.

                        Wow... that is a inspiring build/ride! An ES is next for me. I could see selling the Bassani for that pipe. Are you gonna tease us or give us some details? Motor, frame? Come on this is the first ES I've seen done resto mod that has the right parts to make for full time grin. We gotta talk

                          What swingarm was used? What about the rear sets?. I will be using a Bandit arm, twin shocks. Did you use 13" or 14" shocks? What rake and trail numbers did you end up with? I will be using a complete front end from a 97 Triumph Sprint. Fully adjustable,conventional and the fork length is longer, but I will need some tube for the clip-on style handlebars

                            That is stunning! Very purposeful looking. Has the" it can get it done" look to it.
                            So cool to make a dated bike look like that, fine attention to overall appearance and I'm sure performance.
                            GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES
