Great looking bike and don't get me wrong, I'm all for fashion over function (my GS was rear drum brake only)... but that seat, tire, lack of fender combo would scare the shit outta me... one unexpected bump and your asshole just got 6" wider. Since your trying to sell it I'd say slap a fender on there so you don't scare off all the sissy men.

Excellent work my friend, your tank is fuckin awesome.

I saw that billet tree make the rounds over on the other board and I couldn't picture them on a build, but man you pulled it off perfectly.
