    An Aston Martin is hardly rubbish.

    Hey nice bike. Now I'd paint over the Harley decals and use a tubing cutter on that lower dogbone bar that is sticking out of both sides of the bar clamps.

    When we think of US cars, muscle cars spring to mind. I am sure the US has its share of undesirable cars to.

    How long are the struts, plus do you have any issues with ground clearance with your pipes with them :?:

    I meant in general cars, Aston's can hardly be conciderd as such!
    And by rubbish I meant average and boring.

    Put it this way, At a time when the UK had Morris Minor's and Hilman Imps, The US had a Selection of pretty cool machines, such as Mustangs and Chargers etc. Even today you guys have the Challenger, Charger, Mustang. We have Vauxhall Insignias and Ford Focus's....
    What I mean is I like big American cars and we don't have them unless we pay a fortune for them!


    Anyway thread jack over.

    I like how you worked the risers. I might dress up the ends of that bottom bar with a set of spike inserts or something.
