i love it man! looks fantastic. love the full leathers shot also; completes the look.
 
EFFIN BEAUTIFUL! After my Monster cafe build is done an early 350 was on my list for next builds. LOVE IT MAN! And the leathers! Great shot even if it inspired memories of the basement scene in "Pulp Fiction" ;D

AMAZING bike my friend!
