Ret8ke -

How do you go about the brass plating? do you have a paint shop coat it all for you? i love this theme and have always wanted it to kinda of match my tank but i usually just found myself looking at aftermarket parts that are already brass...

I was curious to see how you went about the process. Any input would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hey that picture is of my 48 when it was stock!

Haha, Looks good so far! Chop that rear fender, buy a module so your signal lights have running/stop/turn functions, ditch that huge brake light and sidemount your license plate.

Hey man, bike is looking good! Unlike the other guys though, I say keep the fender as is and lower the rear end down over that tire! Losing the reflectors will look better too. Whatever you choose I'm sure it will be all good.
