  1. I saw your bike on bikeExif.com and have to say.. as a completely non-Harley guy... that is one fine looking bike. Very tastefully done, so good in fact, it's a shame they don't make it. My only change would be to shorten the rear fender more, but that's just me. Fine ride.

    Hay Rob... I'm glad to stumble across your finished project. It was good to talk to you about this at MIAD as you were building it. I'l have to send you photos of my 1972 Yamaha DS7 after I figure out the charging problem and I get it on the road. Adam Meurer
