I've watched that video anout a hundred times and I love it. I wish it was longer or had more details.

I'm shooting for a similar engine set up but more of a vintage cafe style bodywork.

I would have posted pictures already but right now it looks pretty stock and we all know what that looks like.

I've been just buying parts like crazy so when I go to work on it I'll have most everything I need already.

Maybe I'll post a before pic with all of the new stuff stacked around it.

Gotta go clear snow first.

Altho VERY red this is a more classic looking custom 550 with what looks like a TR seat .

Yes that is what I am talking about. Mine will be mostly black and polished or dark blue and polished.

Something in blue .

Those are both nice, for a street setup I like how the Blue is layed out with a more comfortable seat and small fairing.

Paint those chambers black or make them chrome, and i would need a new keyboard for the drool . I really like the blue one.

I usually don't care for dark green on a bike but this is nicely done.

Wow .. i havent seen that one before , very nice job . Its terrible that the 3 into 1 pipes dont work that well for top end as they sure do " lighten " the look of the bike real nice
