Wow Troy, that looks awesome! Really well done. All the long hours with the fiberglass paid off for sure, It is smooth and fits together like a glove. Props to the teacher when the student puts out his fiorst piece of work that good.
Cheers to both, can't wait to see it in color.

Troy, that sir is pure mechanical sex! Flat out the best lines of any bike I have ever seen! You have crafted a real dream machine. Great work brother, you have made the rest of us look like a bunch of amature hacks!

He doesn't exactly have a history of ditching a bike he's not feeling anymore.
Willow is looking amazing bother. Stellar work on every detail. I don't think a bike could be more personalized if you hand forged the engine.

Careful my ass, I want to see him do it. Bet he would cast it in bronze and it would come out clean as hell, looking like the effing Venus de Milo...

Fellas I can't tell ya how much you words mean. I really appreciate it. Makes all the hours worth it. Honestly guys I'm honored and humbled.
Appreciate the props man. I really do.
Again Fellas I really do appreciate the kind words. I have a ton of respect and admiration for this crowd so I really am honored and humbled. Thank You from the bottom of my heart!
I really don't have anything to report. I'm currently waiting a new filler bung. I went to weld a 1/2 spacer to the bottom and warped the threads. The one now is a little tight to the tank. The tank was beefed up to be 1/4" thick where the bungs go. Anyhow, After welding the filler bung the cap won't tighten down. I hope to drill and bond the fuel line (been studying and mocking for its location all week) this weekend and the mount tabs too. The filler should be here sometime next week, then I should be rockin again.
Until then I'll leave ya with a couple shots from the other day:
