yup, that was me! good memory. I did all the rest of the work on the bike myself too, including the paint. The only thing i didnt do was the pinstriping. Thanks for all of the feedback everyone. If anyone has any ideas on what else could be done to the bike, let me know, i'm open for ideas because i am running out of things to do. I still want to lower the rear fender over the tire a little bit and make my own LED taillight with blinkers in it. Did anyone happen to notice my front fender at all? Its a pretty subtle change, but compare it next to a stock front fender and see if you can tell the difference.

Did you mount the front fender right to the brace? Looks clean and tight.

Actually, the front fender hugging the tire so close was one of the first things I noticed, but I thought it might be due to the new wheel/tire. I recently lowered mine, so front fenders are probably on my mind...

It is still the stock fender, but the tire/wheel size didnt change. I actually cut the brace out from underneath the fender. Then I made a bunch of pie cuts in the fender and slowly bent it into a tighter radius to fit the lines of the tire better. There is still at least 1/2 clearance throughout the whole fender to allow rocks and whatnot to pass through. Then I welded up the cuts, slid the fender backwards from the original position, then welded the mounting brackets to the side of the fender. It turned out pretty cool, much better looking in person than in the pics.
Thanks for showing me that link Dawg Rider, I had never seen it before. I'm glad someone has a similar taste for bikes as i do.
