And I jizzed in my pants!

Btw if you put straight bars on her it would be an amazing cafe racer. In any cause its sooo sexy. Makes me drool.
 
thanks all... its been a long time coming but its finished for now. May do an XB top end this winter and a few other little things. Everything on the bike was done by myself. All the painting, powdercoating, machining, etc (except the pulley - i did all the cad work and had a friend make it on his CNC). Cant wait to take it for a ride. Looks like the weather may break for the afternoon to try it out.
 
I think I've said it before, but your bike has always been one of my favorites...if not THE favorite. Great job, looks incredible!
