Tastefully done but looks still raw, unpolished and incomplete. Good potential for something artful though.

Inspiration from Falcon may I ask?

If I'm not mistaken you used to make custom Featherbed frames right?

Good luck with your sale.

By "polished" I mean as a figure of speech lol, not implying it as actually waxing it to a mirror finish

Think of "polished" as "refined" if that's clearer

I guess I'll point out a few in my opinion then, to illustrate my point:
- Rust patina is a theme going on with it? (front hub and exhaust header) If it is then nevermind
- Is that seat bare metal? Mild steel? Would look complete with some leather work
- Whole bike is black and rear fender is chrome/shiny alloy?
- The tail light is pointing down if you ask me, not level

All these might have been nit picking I know, but that shows how much I regret it could have been "refined" for a very nice finish. But of course it's your bike, not mine, so I can't do anything else other than giving hopefully constructive pointers, I don't mean any negativity at all.

After all it's a $4,000 bike no? If it was $1,500 I would have snatched it and done all the "refining" myself.
