    I like what you did with the tank... but the back end looks like it's missing something. Avoid gravel roads and newly tarred highways.

    Are you a giant? :)

    I'm digging it. Just needs some highway pegs or forward controls so you don't look cramped on the thing now.

    The work looks awesome. I would agree that it needs something on the rear, but winter will be here soon enough. Well done.

    I dig it! Simple is so complex anymore :) i normally don't like the peanut style tank, but your build pulls it off effortlessly. Looks like a lot of work that worked out for you. That will turn some heads, for sure!

    Where do you guys get the seats and fenders (or do you fabricate the fenders from sheet metal?) for your builds from? Also any advice on reading material?

    What? Doesn't yours run right? I have no problem doing 4th gear burnouts with my XJ650. Start in first, get the tire hot and start going through the gears, speed shifting without the clutch.
