              Thanks, guys!


              It really needs to be detailed - I didn't notice how filthy it was until I put the newly painted plastics back on...

              The paint was more effort than it was worth, but I'm very satisfied with it. I was going to polish the fork legs, but I've got a line on some NOS units, factory gloss black. I've also got a donor motor I'm swapping in, so I can rebuild and repaint the original. I'm torn between gloss black or bead-blasted with polished cases for the engine. Time will tell.....

                That's easy - bead blasted block and polished cases. There are lots of black motors around, but the bare aluminum look is not that common.

                  Dood, that is sweeeeeeet! It is awesome in every corner. That is totally my kind of bike. I can't find a thing on it I would change.

                  My two cents. On a bike like that with the layout and color is has the engine needs to be black.

                  I don't know if you plan to or not but if it was mine I would also reapply new emblems.

                  Super sweet man. Kudos!!!

                  I mean that.

                    SAH-WEET!!! Well done!
                    As for the engine,I'll side with Hoomgar and say keep it black-the bright aluminum would clash with that cherry paint job!

                        Very nice indeed.

                        I'd also keep the engine black. As Earl once told me, the black'll grow on ya.
                        And it has.

                          I like the exhaust. What size is the Supertrap inlet ID/OD? I want to cut my megaphone off...

                            Very nice indeed! Love the lowers and the shorty signals. Nice attention to detail there.

                              Looks good!

                              How do you like that Supertrapp exhaust? Has it got the tunable discs? If it does have you fiddled with it? How does it perform and sound? Thanks
