Sorry about how filthy the bike is, The tank looks like one big smudge in the pics  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Oh and, seeing the bike like this only makes me want to put on one of my damn cowls on.

Remember, a clean bike is the sign of a sick mind.  Yes,it wants the cowl to be complete.

I love the blacked-out swingarm, engine/belt covers and rearsets  [thumbsup] I'm planning to do the same with my Dark. Did you have them powdercoated or is it rattlecan work?

Also, where's that Cafe cowl?!  [laugh]

1993-1999 headlight mounting 'ears' will have no holes for blinkers if you want to do that in the future...

Not knocking it man....just offering a suggestion!  [thumbsup]

I was wondering what those holes were.

Cafe racers don't have passenger pegs.  Truly hot chicks ride their own bikes.  ;D

What would really look cool is a cafe-style seat cowl!  There was a guy on here a year or so ago who said he was fabbing one.  He posted some sexy pics and then disappeared.   ???

Your bike looks awesome. [thumbsup] Nice and minimalist. I'm not 100% on the tail light but it's unique so kudos for that too.

Those bars are so low, you're gonna need a chiropractor's number for sure!

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Hows that seating position with the bars that low??? It looks awesome, but I'm worried about my back if I do that!

Man, I really hate douchebags that do that, no respect. They just put everyone's hopes up and then just leave them unsatisfied.  ;)

It's actually not that bad. Of course I got used to my 996, which was a rack

Well, from what I have seen, the wait will be worth it.  :)

That bike looks damn good.  What kind of clip ons are those?  Any trouble fitting the coffins on the bars? 

Uh, and no! I didn't watch the entire Right Said Fred video.  Well maybe, but I am at work.  That has to justify a little.
