Looks great man!

You say you welded the rear fender. What did you weld?

On the wheels.....To get the silver to show...Was it just a matter of sanding off the black until the silver shined through?
I really like the look.

Thanks all. On the rear fender I made metal plugs to fill the holes where the struts attached to smooth out the sides. On the wheels I sanded the raised portion of the spokes starting with a block and 120 grit enough to get to bare metal. Then used multiple grits of paper up to 2000 grit wet. That smoothed the surface. After that I used two different polishing compounds on a dremmel with a polishing wheel. That brought out the shine. Last I used Mothers polish to protect them. Totaled about 20 mins +/- per spoke, but I think the time was worth it because after market wheels run $1K and up.

Bro I think its very creative what you did with the wheels and I fully plan to copy the **** out of it ;D ;D ;D

With everything blacked out and the S&S filter, ppl are going to think its a Harley LOL. Are you going to tell them or just let them wallow in their ignorance?

Your bike looks great! You mention a "new seat", I'm looking for a solo seat just like that. What brand is that you have installed?

it's a parts unlimited seat. i haven't ridden on it yet, but it feels better than stock.

It's a kustomwerks metal fender. They call it the 5.50 inch long boy. I had to cut some off both ends and reshape the sides they way I wanted. To mount it I had to order 4 aluminum spacers to go between the fender and the forks. I have $180.00 into the fender and spacers alone. Still less than Low and Mean and it's a custom "Metal" fender. Glad you like it. It took soom time laying out the shape I wanted.

Did you have to tape off around the flats?

No, you just have to be cautious. A small sanding block works best. If you don't use a block it will come out wavey and not mirror like.
