The silver flash pained through the sprocket cover always adds 10HP

Who said Harleys are good for nothing??... For $10, I found this billet , cnc milled, chromed cluthch cable holder off a sportie that did the job better than the black, yammy plastic frame clip

Looking really nice Flapper, Cafe race style is not really my thing but I do appreciate a nice custom build, I think the wheels are great with the polished outer rim, and carry the same theme with the "Cafe Stripe" thing on the mudguard (and presumably with the other bodywork?), as for the sprocket stripe, you may have turned it up to 11 there!

A TRX of the month in the making methinks

Be nice to see some pics of the whole bike as you peice it togther

a nice bit of bike porn!

Not in any way legal but hey they`ll sound great. I would slip on a pair of Db killed cans for the rego / mot if I went down that route.
