OK, You sound excited about getting the bike done.  Fantastic.  Now for us that aren't psychic, what did you build?  And of course, the required statement:  Where's the pictures?

Very nice. Well done! I kinda like that blue on the front fender. I think it would look good on the whole bike! ;)

I think it looks good bare like that.  I know its not a stock bike (obviously) but I have always liked the silver that was on the K2's and japanese k4s.

and I like that blue fender as well.
