Thank you, guys!
Your opinion is important for me!

Now I want to tell about one detail of this bike - the fork.
l took standart fork in our shop and made new cross-arms to make it wider - from 90 mm to 130 mm between "legs".
When I was lookin for the form for cross-arms, I saw this poster:

I thought -wow! that is what I need!

So than was draft:

Than first edition in steel:

And after that in aluminium.

So now the fork is like this:

Image

It's not final yet, today i'll change plugs from plastic to aluminium and change the lower plug from black to white) New photos coming soon)

You really need to send your photos into the Star Wars site...I bet it gets featured there and in their magazines.
