Wow. Superb job you've done there. You should be very proud.

If you have the time you could take it to the Elim Custom Show tomorrow.
It would be a nice debut.

Just beautiful.

I keep going back and forth on black vs silver cylinders on mine. Since my headers will be black I am thinking that black is the way to go.

Very pretty indeed, well done ! Be prepared to get splashed on a rainy day with that wee mudguard !

Very pretty, I like it and the seat is very nice as well. I hope it is comfortable. It is thicker than some guys make them, which I like, and it has the potential to be comfortable for more than 20 minutes...

Is she ready for BOTM nomination?

Have you rejetted/tuned the carbs for the pods and exhaust? Tweakin and a few others (Tighe, forget his UID) have similar setup but on 750s. Can't recall someone with a 550 and the Yoshi pipe and pods with std PD carbs. Greggo maybe?

That paint scheme would look good in silver and blue. Paulage has a red and white scheme that is killer but, he has a Ducati vintage repro fairing on his bike.
Great work! You will have long stops for gas because everyone will be asking questions about your bike.
I hope the pipes stay looking that way and not dull, really adds to the look. Does bwaller, Brent, run those pipes on his race bike? Motogp made those, right?

Funny that you said would look good in blue and silver because I was gonna ask if I can borrow the scheme for my blue and silver.

Absolutely amazing!
Do you have any Audio/video clips of what the pipe sounds like? For my tastes, you have built the perfect CB! Congratulations on a job well done.

I can honestly say this is one of the most impressive looking bikes I have seen. You are one of great vision! I can only hope mines looks even half as good when I'm done.
