At first I was confused. But, When you posted the long range view. I said ok. Looks Good. A 20/20 bike. 20 feet away at 20 miles per hour the ignorant would think WOW a Panhead. Nothing like the real thing. Which I have owned for 44 years,

I pulled up behind a Ford Taurus the other day that had BMW badging on the trunk. I live in a college town and you're likely to see anything. We also have a Batmobile. LOL!
As to the original subject of this post.............I like it!

It's definitely an interesting looking bike. Not for me, but it's all about making your bike your's. It did kinda grow on me. Ya did a fine job on it! Bet it took a while to get it all to look "right".

Yeah it took a while to get here. In 2008 there was a company that made 50 reproductions of Elvis Pressley's 1958 FL. They used brand new Heritage Classics. They were all sold by invitation only for $50,000 each. I fell in love with it but went for a Duo Glide rather than the Hard Tail look.
