Looks good. I've heard the pipes (if they're the street sweepers) are a beetch for anyone riding on your right or behind you. They blow all the sand and whatever is on the road right into anyone near you. I haven't experienced it but my step son has. They make that guy ride in back of the pack.

Nice bike. I want to do one like this. I will paint the frame gloss black and let the rest unpainted to get a nice rusty finish.

You have done a wonderful job so far. The sissy bar looks very cool. Pipes look great if you can get away with it in your area. I put the VH/Q's on mine. Did not want to piss off the neighbors!! Keep up the good work. It will be nice to see it with paint.

Fair enough! I'm putting together a "slightly" raked softail style bike,..pretty much from ground zero,..so plenty of questions are gonna be comming. The wheel combo 21" x 16" is underway (and looks great on his build) I'll be using the Ultima Black Gem 96" engine & the pipes pictures are exactly what I'm looking for.

Here is a linik to the lady who is doing my paint.

A2Z Customs Airbrushing by Candy
Home

As far as the pipes go they are hooker headers darksides Troublemakers scalloped cut.
Hope they are loud as $%^&, I ride with a lot of customs and always end up on the exhaust side somehow, payback time if I ever get this bike finished.

Thanks for the words encouragement.
