Just read through your whole build! Very nice work. I really like the lines now. Looking forward to seeing it completed. This actually helps to keep me motivated on my build.

man that thing is sweet, i actually liked the rapido tank on there, but regardless which tank you use, love it!. i just read through the whole thing, i have a kz750 twin i was gonna hardtail but your bikes got me thinking of changing my mind i mean that's B!tc#!ng (sorry if i offended any strictly "serious bike" fans with "the B word"-really? are we 8?-) i even have a set of 19" mag wheels from an xs650 ill be picking up today.... hmmm.... hardtailed dual 19's... hmmm....
i guess i better go watch more episodes of american chopper so i can learn how to plan out my bike build in the correct order so i dont make any mistakes.... ROFLMAO i still cant believe someone would say that awesome bike dude
