Awesome!

Thanks Yami! Can't wait to flog it !
When it's this close to being finished is when it's hardest to be patient.

Amen to that! Waiting for friend to bring me a flat jack so I can install the front fender so gravel doesn't destroy my polish and paint. Sync gauges too for the final tune.

And while I'm waiting...the helmet now matches.
Whatever you do don't mix up the helmet and the fender.....

Finished today and test flogged. She's loud torquey and well balanced. I named her Charlene.
Charlene is a fine looking machine. Well done and thanks for posting everything. Great build.

Beautiful! How did you do the chrome stripe? Is it paint?

Ultra thin chrome vinyl buried in the clear.
Rode it to the annual bike blessing today. Handles awesome, lots of get up and go and a mean growl. Pure joy to ride.
