        Thanks!

        I wish, ha. The seat is really uncomfortable, but I plan on replacing it next year and I know how to do it better this time. Turn radius had to be limited due to the oversized tank off of an 850, so it makes for some awkward parking lot experiences. I don't want to ride at night because the aftermarket V Rod headlight is really dim.

        But really, it is fun to ride...for short distances...during the day

                    Thanks guys! Using Honda GL 1500 Valkyrie rotors (1997-2003) up front. They work great, just had to drill out the holes to 8mm, hole pattern and spacing is correct.

                        It would be nice to see some closer photos of front wheel and paint. Looks really sharp!
