I like that look alot, but I think I'd paint the ammo boxes black also, make it sort of an all stealth look, either that or keep them green and paint the rest of the bike to match, make it a military theme.
Either way, that's a slick looking rear bumper.

nice bike apearing lately. Ok that’s where I’m at now. Got that custom last year for 500$ can. It had the high handle bars, safety bars on the engine, horrible mirrors and a c tank. Still lot of work needs to be done, espacialy get rid of those hugh turn signals!

thanks. part of the aesthetic is that i have less than $100 in the entire bike....but i have been thinking about a military paint scheme...maybe a white star on the tank over army green?

Can you tell me where you purchased the headlight visor? I am looking to get one myself in the next week. Thanks!

@ SeatSkins
I love your *before* seat!
I also love the pic on the floor, looking up @ the bike, something I was thinking of doing when mine has all the pieces back on and is in a pretty outdoor setting :-)

I was just thinking how I liked the green ammo boxes with the blacked out look?

Mikos, how does your bike shift with linkage like that? I wonder how you can get the 90' lever to go down when it's being pulled on an angle rearward? It looks as if the foot lever would have to 'grow' longer or shorter to work each shift. I want to change my shifter. I think and 'S" shape or "Z" will do fine without any linkage. I already have a two into one right side header so there's no interferance problem with the pipe.
Cheers, 50gary
