love all of it, except the rear sets, just don't fit the build
Good point; the Tarozzi rearsets are a little too "Italian" for this build. I think chromed tubular shift/brake levers with rubber footpegs would have worked better. Otherwise, beautiful bike! RR

GOLD! ;D

...... the guy at the back front-siding (he's not going over the bars so I guess that's the right term!) just makes all the better.

Not sure if you guys will find this "INSPIRATIONAL" or not, but here is a Fuel Tank I just finished for a customer and thought I'd share:

Still haven't figured out how to post Pix from my album so you'll have to hit the link.

Thanks Nick, that's nice of you to say, I have found that Most things can look better in Photos then they do in real life, I consider it a real complement when the opposite is said about my work!    =D

Godffery,
Do you have link to build?
 I'm intrigued about tank, looks like a lot of work went into it

This is the only album I have for this bike:
http://www.vinmoto.org/gallery/v/VinMoto-Garage/album03/Godfferys-Garage-123/Linas-s+CB550+Cafe/
I'm just building the tank & tail, then some Brake updates for this bike; the customer is doing the rest.

You can see allot more of my builds though in my main album here:
http://www.vinmoto.org/gallery/v/VinMoto-Garage/album03/Godfferys-Garage-123/
There are also more Tank builds in there a few rows down, but if you want to go directly to it, here is a link to that:
