Looks great dude

I might suggest an abreviated fender otherwise your back may get some streaks from the rooster tails...

Why would you do all that chopping and hacking, but leave the reflectors on your forks???

haha, yea i plan on taking the reflectors off actually, maybe i'll do that today. I really really considered doing what you said oldskool. I need to find out what i'd do with the tailights. I doubt I'd be able to get rid of them completely, but it be cool to cut off the fender struts down by the shocks and round it off like you were saying, and get rid of the lights altogether. I'll ask my friend about the tailights (he's a cop). Turning the license plate vertical I'll do for sure. Thanks all for the input! I know its a little rough right now, but i'll put up another vid once its completed.
