This thing is killer! I love those tires. Reminds me of the Ducati TerraCorsa

Thanks!!

That Ducati is killer ;-) It is the same tires as I have, Continental TKC80..
 
Do you live in a tux shop or something? I lived downtown san diego and remember seeing a shop just like that logo all the time
 
Hehe... No Finnigan, it started as a joke with the guys a share garage with :) So we drew up a logo, and that is now what we call our garage :-D We all live in Oslo, Norway...
 
Now the assembly has finally started :) So far I'm very happy with the colorcombo, it works together... The headlight will have to go, think I will replace it with a 5 3/4" or 4 1/2" instead :-D

A lot of wiring is in my close future, that is going to take time :-/ Still some bushings and stuff that has to be made for the rear swingarm. But have to wait until I get the new chain to get it dead straight...

Wow, looks great, I agree headlight looks to big, but you could try tucking it in closer to the forks and see if that helps. I think if you tuck it in the size will be fine.
 
The headlight is so deep, I might move it back another 1/2" - 3/4"... But thats not enough :-/
