Looking great man!
I think the Ammo boxes fit right in.

Anxiously awaiting the paint and finishing touches.

I'd mount them somewhat higher, if at all. :|

I was going to update my sig line, but I'm not seein' anything worth plagiarizing right now.

I say if anything build teardrop style saddlebags to match the tank. Those ammo boxes just don't do the bike justice.

Dito!
On the other hand, those are easy to modify.
I would try .30 cal boxes insted... they're slimer, more stiled... :D

This thing just keeps getting better and better.
Cycling is best in good weather, but it's pretty good whether the weather is good or not.

There's not much that's good left off the real one but I think I might be able to sneak some parts off of it when he's not looking :wink: :wink: :lol:

Yeah me too, I did some trading with a friend who wanted my stretched manta ray and he does paint and body work so we worked out a deal. well needless to say he still is working on it. Then thanksgiving weekend I managed to wreck a friends dirt bike and tore my acl and a meniscus in the right knee and need to have surgery on it at the end of the month so I havent been able to ride a bike. But the guy should have the bodywork done soon so I can put it back together. I'll keep posting more progress as I get it even though the build offs over.

Thank you, I'll do, that I've already got ideas running through my head for a Indian inspired bike that I found when I was looking for old motorcycle paint schemes :D :D
