Default The resto job on my bike is complete! (pics)

So, the body part of my bike is finally done. A few more things to tweak mechanically and everything will be set. For now though, here are pics of when I got it and how it sits now. I'm pretty happy with how it came out and plan to keep it around for a while. Please, feel free to give your inevitably offensive feedback.

New Corbin Gunfighter seat
Acid and polish all the chrome
New sissy bar and sissy bar pad
Removed the purple decals, fixed the dents on the tank, bought a new front fender (the old one has a chunk missing from the inside of it if you look hard enough), god a new left side cover (you can see one was missing in the before pics), gave the bike a new black paintjob
Chrome trim around the tank
New handlebars
New grips

Yeah, I think I'll remove the backrest and snap some more pics. It looks pretty decent without taht big akward thing back there.

And wheels, tell me about it. Those rims bother me a lot...just not sure what kind to put on there to replace 'em...



Thanks for the kind words, too, guys!
