i can not decide if i like the cooler the most or the damper! they are two things that are CONSTANTLY overlooked on a cafe... and are a MUST! i use them on all my builds... but this one just jumped though hoops man!!! i thought i got creative on mine for my TX, then you BUILT EVERYTHIGN... would love to have you closer... granted my wife would hate it cause i would never sleep and would live in the shop for real then!!!! the ignition is someitng you shoudl look into making and selling man... i know i would be down for one for my CB350 build... going to hit you up for some help when i start the carbs (VM30) on my TX... after i dust her off from the corner

Yeah joe I know what you mean man.  There are so many talented people here.  If we were closer, imagine the mark we would make on the world man.....damn!  Thanks for the props, she was a labor of love, and will continue to be I am sure.  I am definitely marketing the ignitions when the shop gets opened and finalized.  It's all a waiting game.  Anything you or anyone else needs, just let me know brother, I am there!  It's what keeps me happy.

Geeeeeeeze man Screw BOTM
i officially nominate for BOTY easy winner, not sure if anyone else would even post up. takes built not bought to a new level and keeps me in check when i think "well it is pretty good i will just ride it for a little while then tear it back down"  but never do.
well done. especially all the function parts i get to see. that are not hidden behind diamond plate fairing or anything like that.

You really need some pro shots of this thing.  It makes a huge difference for us internet folk.  Blog the shit outta this thing, cause its super rad.  I love how EVERYTHING on it rhymes your style.

Congrats brother, it must feel great to finish your masterpiece! And that is what she is! You and I have had several discussions about building the bike that has haunted your thoughts for years.....and you have now completed yours. Great work and I can’t wait until I know what that feeling is like....seems like mine has been pushed further out....but she will get done! Thanks for all the help and inspiration you have given me, you are a true friend and I am lucky to be able to share my passion of bikes with a man of your caliber.

Congrats again....and Gretta is a beauty!

This bike makes me think of Angelina Jolie; Obviously beautiful, slightly exotic with more than a little underlying aggression.
Beautifully done.

Nice, now who can get a hold of her to pose riding on Gretta?  SHe looks hot on the Speed triple in Salt, so put her and Gretta together and BAM, Cover of every bike mag/blog/site etc.

I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said, and I'm a newer member here so I haven't been up on this thread since the beginning.  But, my God, that thing is a work of art. 

After joining toward the end of your build thread, I read through the entire thing one night.  The suspension, the ignition system, the oil cooler, etc.  Each piece is its own accomplishment.  As said by others, you should be very proud.  I only hope the bike treats you as well as you have and will, I'm sure, continue to treat it.
