I just want to thank my buddy Joe.  He as outdone himself.  I am however very happy that he is OCD when it comes to the smallest of details.  It's actually quite painful to watch him work cause nothing is ever good enough for him.  hahaha.  You built an awesome bike for me and now you don't have to be embarrassed riding with me when we hit the scene.  Thanks boss.

Good lookin scoot! The rear fender looks 100 times better without that light. I like the black trim ring around the bucket too!
I'm done. I'm beaten. I finally quit. I'm cleaning shop over the next couple weeks. So I'll be getting back to anybody / everybody what I owe.

here are some shots with a real camera, you can really see how smooooth the paint work came out (tank and side covers are painted, front fender and rear are powdercoated. the tank was full of dents so i had to body work it to get it smooth

Does that Droid app require a phone with GPS and full data package from Sprint?

I used Krylon Yellow Stain Glass Spray... It coats the glass and lasts surprisingly long...  I have been in the rain and pelted with gravel and its still on there pretty well... The light shining through is still bright there was no loss in visibility that i can tell...  i think it gives a more euro vintage look.
Not a big fan of the fork bag but it is holding the mini amp with switch to power the speakers that are mounted on the neck and where tac should be.   Also we switched out the front and rear turn signals pictured there to give it a more simple look with out all of the chrome.  Joe did a really nice job cutting extra wires and really cleaning up the mess that was left for us.
