On the way. There's a few minor issues with the fender but the tank came out great. I'm gonna put it together and get some miles on it yet this summer I hope.

I'm having second thoughts about the pinstripes. I may still play around with vinyl just to get a look see but there is so many reflections that follow the body lines I think they might be distracting. Hopefully it will be together in the next few weeks and I'll get a look at all in one piece.

I think that just gave me an orgasm.

Very nice.

Thanks!

Started to receive powder coated parts. All are in the front end and it's all black. These are the super glossy parts, the rest are glossy but not as much as these.

Very nice, I think this will be one sharp bike when all back together.

Paint and powder coating done for now. There are a few small issues on the fender that I'll deal with later. I was waiting on a seal kit to change the front caliper to black. Of course it was late but happened to arrive right after the pictures were taken. I will be taking another run at the seat cover once I get a chance to study it for a bit.

And now it needs a name. So far I've got Raptor, Raven, Blackhawk, Panther and Pantera as possibilities. Any preferences or write in candidates?

This looks so COOL. And the seat looks great already! I really don't know what would be a good name. Before it was painted and had the rear fender mounted, I always thought it looked like the Terminator when his skin got burned off. (Really cool looking.) Awesome skills, Sir!

I'm sure people who glimpse it will think, I'm not sure what I just saw. So I'd vote for a name like Phantasm or Apparition.
