This is end of road for this bike
Enjoy guys

Rob

First off, incredible build. Great example of how beauty can be achieved by addressing function before form. I have to ask why the tachometer has a single socket head screw among all those button heads? I looked back in the thread and saw it was previously all button heads. It is driving the manufacturing engineer in me crazy.

LOL, good eye, attention to detail,  Its long story.  There are two allen cap screw at 3 and 9 oclock, that ended up working great to hold the back cover. I didn't have button heads long enough at the time, kept forgetting to buy them and i then took all the photo's.
Last week an hour before the professional photographer was coming to shoot photo's for magazine,  I realized the same thing. You guys haven't seen these photos yet. So I had to replace all the button head screws with Allen Cap. So they are all the same now. 
Thanks for asking. I'm sure its a load off your mind. LOL

The photographer, Ryan Handt , ryanhandt.com He is a master at what he does. Far from new to
this rodeo. He was recommended to me by Chris at bikeexif.com
His first shot took an hour. He only showed me the one shot , WOW.
Here is where we did it. That was with my iPhone, BTW
I thought I was in 3020 after some atomic blast.
The place was a wreck. Talk about a diamond in the rough.

Sean, you only looking at the pictures again?  Reserve that for the Babe thread or your girlie magazines...

Gotta read these threads to keep up.  Professional photographer used it as a backdrop for a photoshoot of the bike for some publications or promo...

Nah, it does not really matter...just typical of the usual Bikexif hipster baloney...most of what I see on Bikexif, Pipeburn, and the like belongs in the abomination thread imo. 

Who really cares about the background when this bike is so damn good.

The background will not compete for attention with the object being photographed.  It is stark contrast to a colorful bike and provides a neutral canvus backdrop. Doing the bike shoot against a photographic screen is very sterile. Somethings photographed with a interesting background can enhance a perception or brand, such as the style of photography that Dime City often uses...

Great photos, Rob.

The photos are by Ryan Handt http://ryanhandt.com
He did a terrific job. I attached the one shot I feel is the money shot that got cut off on the bottom on Bikeexif article.
