          That is really a "restomod"-job to be proud of The parts you have chosen really compliments the lines and curves, and gives the bike an updated classic look with a modern touch. Nice rear shocks too, which is often an overlooked item. I see you have push-button controls, are they connected via a Mo.unit (or M.unit of it's older)?

            Thank You Rich,
            that's much better.

            yes, all the wiring is new with a M unit.

                Definnitely a much improved motorcycle. It has a nice look. I don't like the "L" models, but you have taken al the "L" out of this.

                    Very nice indeed. Are those YSS shocks?

                      I'm usually not a huge fan of modded bikes but I have to say that is quite an improvement over what it was before. I'd ride it for sure.

                        I have to agree, I'm not a fan of modded bikes either but this one is very nice. Lots of thought went into it to get the right look.

                            I just noticed the frame isn't black. It looks great!! I also like the fork covers. They really do protect the forks, and they add a look to the bike that really fits.

                              I hope those headers are going to be replaced/refurbished before long, because you know how well exhaust tape ages.
