The bars are from BR's Custom Cycles....Same place Boriqua got his bars I think. Great guy, Great quality of work, but be prepared to wait...mine took almost 9 weeks to get done....Should be getting all the tins back from the painter sometime today...Seat should be in late this week or early next... I thought DA had moved away!! Last time I talked to him he said something about moving up North!!Has he got married yet??

I saw the tins in persons yesterday and the pix dont even do them justice!!! That bike is going to sweet when its done!Im still here Chad. I havent been on the board in awhile because I was so swamped at work.Im not moving to Charlotte as previously planned because I got laid off a couple of weeks ago and Im not getting married because Nadia decided she wanted to be "free" so we called off the engagement in Feb. I got enough cash to last me about 11 or 12 months before I have to find a job so I'm planning on taking the summer off and just enjoying life for once! I am planning on drive my Porsche across country in June. Take about 3 or 4 weeks to visit friends and family back east. Prob take a bike trip somewhere in July out west for a week or so. Work on my house and just have fun for awhile before deciding what I want to do in the fall sometime. I feel like how many times in ones adult life does an opportunity to take time to truly do what you want come along at a time when you can take advantage of it?! And then be able to remake your life how you see fit. Truthfully, I have not been this happy in a long time! Building bikes, hanging out with friends without the stress of work or a job doesn't suck! Eventually, I will find another job or start a business and re-enter the rat race but for at least the next couple of months Im not even thinking about such things! I'll def be riding more this summer, so you'll see a lot more of me!D.A.
So do you have a completion date Can't wait to see it when it's done

You can check the two green plugs up underneath the right side of the tank without having to remove the tank. I broke the tabs off of mine a long time ago, and a few times they came loose while riding. Hopefully it's an easy fix.
