And I also quickly photoshopped in white wall and white grips to see how it would look. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

Looks great.

Ever thought about the rocker boxes and push rods being powder coated white or black? I think it might make the bike even more one of a kind.

I have thought about the rocker boxes and rods being black. First I wanted to have some more custom paint work done maybe another military themed something on the oil pan. I'm an army guy so I like the paint but might do something else I kind of want white grips but they get dirty.

Default In a different direction

This is the wife's bike. We went for a mid-late 60s Britt Cafe look. I spent considerable time on the front end adding the big headlight, FL hub cap, speedballs, duel speedo/tach and I took a steel ribed rear fender I got from Seven Sins Choppers and chopped it. The XL1200X "Britt" fender blate came from Dime City Cycles and is made in the UK.
