      Very nice build.

      I like the touch of black engine/polished covers, and I just noticed what appears to be a stock airbox and somewhat stock exhaust. Very nice.

      Definitley not for my style of riding, but I can still appreciate a work of art.

        yeah, that would be a 5 degree tree I made. Changed it just a tad.

            Yeah keep rubbing my nose in the fact that yours is done and mines not. When i show up at your door with a crate full of parts, then we'll see.

            Seriously, beautiful ride.

              ALLMOST done, not done-done!

              Well, will probably never be done as I keep changing stuff.

              Haul all yer junk up here and we'll build somethin out of it! Better hurry though, picked up a Uni-cycle something or nother yesterday.

                  Looks great, wish I had the skills for that kind of work. I reviewed the whole album.



                  Thanks for sharing...

                    Henry that bike is the NUTS. Love it! Get any of your inspiration from ZERO Engineering? Similar lines to alot of their bikes.

                        Here's a link to their original bikes they did in Japan (they now have a dealership in Las Vegas). Click on English and then on Pictures tab on left. Some beautiful work.

                          Yeah, nice scoots. Seem to be mostly fat tired front ends. Dont care for that personally. Nice rides still though! Thanks for the link!

                            Strangely enough someone just posted about Brad Pitt dropping his chopper. He's riding a Zero.

                              That front fender works quite well with the lines on your bike. I wish i hadn't ground the mounts off mine know. Your build came out great i really dig the stance and lines of it.

                                Yeah, I originally wasnt going to run a front fender, but I stuck it on there and ended up really liking it. The next GS I'm building wont have it as I'm going for a non-traditional front end with it. But on this scoot, I'm glad I kept it!
