its all good i am red too at this point in the game. anyways i wondered because it had been going on for a long time and thought there was a joke behind it because no one said anything. lol the joke is on us and those who think they have more time to build :lol:

I really like the way those handlebars look. Any idea where you got them? or how wide they are?

you could do something like this:
LLSX-53 (long, low and slow x-53)
P.S. the bike looks great! I remember the swap at Walts where you got your first ballooner! now you're an old pro!

When I first saw this build I thought WOW Caddy of customs. Love the Rack and all the detail gold color look. The Rack is something that is always skipped over in custom bike builds. For anyone who "truly" rides bikes, where else would the six pack go?

Nothing beats a nice rack!
Well, maybe some junk in the trunk...

But your right. This bike is awesome.
