Thanks everyone. Kinda bummed about where the tips of the stripes ended up, oh well. I still love the way it is all coming together. Pictures just don't do the paint color justice. When its finished I will get some decent pictures of it outside in the daylight.

Some people will use a Speed-O drive from a GL1000, it has a slight angle on it to allow for twin discs.

Yea blue and silver is a good match. It would be cool to see our bikes next to each other. That would be a long ride though!

Very sharp, Branden.  Great job.

Looks like it's going to stay dry for a couple of days - you got any time for me to roll by for a closer look this weekend?

It was just a few weeks ago. It's usually the end of August or the first of September.

Love it B!  Once I kick this flu bug I will bring up some IPA's to christen it... 
It's nice watching this build and not having the itch to start another, guess the garage is too full or maybe I just needed a break.

As a kid my favorite color was blue... hasn't changed much since then.   Good blue - Looks fantastic.  Well done.
