Beautiful!
Can you please provide a summary of what you have done on this one to enhance the stock kit?
They should get you on "Biker Build Off"

Another great bike James. Your custom work is stunning at it's best! The paint work is awesome, will the fender receive the same art work. I started one some months back but wasn’t satisfied with the kit tires. What tires and rims are you using.

thanks, im not putting any fenders on it. i removed all the fender mounting brackets from the forks and rear end. i like the hot rod look . tires and rims are from the kit.

i changed the frames a bit, the black plastic is what i made., i changes the angle of the front also to make the bike lower. and added aluminum tubing for the forks.
