Hard to add anymore then what's already been said, Tige. You really are one of the best restorers I've ever seen. Your attention to detail, a knack for having a vision, and getting everything just right is very admirable. That bike really is beautiful.

+1!

Its funny you mentioned the orangy look as I was thinking the same thing as I scrolled through your photos and then read your comment!

I am curious though to see what it would look like with the tank trim and how this might look with chrome trim on the seat to match.

Excellent work!
Andy

That tank looks killer WITHOUT the trim. More custom look and it looks larger making that wonderful paint larger than life.

Thanks Larry, this means a ton coming from you. Anytime you are on the wet side of the mountains I will buy you a beer.

For those of you who wanted to see it with trim... Lower quality photo but you get the idea. thoughts? (here comes the 50% for and 50% against, ha ha)

I actually think I like the tank trim, but it will not b getting trim on the seat. If it was more of a custom rather than stock I would lose the trim, but I feel the trim gets it closer to the stock look I was initially going for.

Excellent! I'm amazed at the speed you get things done and they still are totally professional and beautiful.

Gday Tige, i think it looks more purposeful without the trim, it seems to "toughen" the look of the bike, more business than frills...

HTF do you choose which one to ride?

Well, pick one, any one, and ride up on Sunday and help me finish my bottom end
You must be fidgeting to work on something new

JK, Nice work T!

+1 on the NO TANK TRIM

+1 No tank trim, looks odd without matching seat to me...

I said it before and I'll say it again, no tank trim.

I kind of like the trim but I think it looks super secksi either way!

Tweakin, do what you want with the trim. Its yours and you will look at it more often than any of us.

Any chance of a ride video, I would love to hear that engine singing at higher revs.

Thanks Tige for the trim photo but have to agree with Retro - no trim if no trim on the seat. I get what you mean though with stock v custom. Either way it looks amazing!

Cant wait for the ride report and some scenic photos!

Enjoy!

Like the GT suffix you came up with, Gran Turismo fits the style of the build...Larry

Tige,

I love this bike, as I love all of your builds. Nothing but the highest quality workmanship. Bravo.

Obviously do what you want (trim-wise) but I had to chuckle about the no-trim comment. How old am I??

Again, great work.

I know you're not a BOTM-kind-of-guy, but I am nominating this one tomorrow!!

tweakin · « **Reply #367 on:** February 28, 2014, 06:40:07 PM »

No tank trim on this one... I initially liked it but after having a few IPAs in the shop I have changed my mind....

Cheers. This ones for Steve-O

No trim for sure here, I have been married for 14 years...

You're killing me, man! That's why you have so much focus on building your bikes. No distractions!!
