Busch:

On striping, out here in the east, there is only one really good old school Rat Rod striper that I have heard about (out of mid Mass and is known as the one armed bandit or something like that..) and I am trying to track him down thru a buddy who restores old rods and used to own Killer Chopper. I do plan to get the old school striping done, after all the paint work is done. (Paul yaffee, are you on here??? Get me my s*&t so I can finish this thing!!!)

Thanks for the bump on Mopars. I didn't even realize there were in the pic until this am.

I also noticed that name of the lift company can be seen. Here is my thought on those complete idiots. They suck at the highest level. There product is the worst ever. Had one of their car lifts drop a car (with me bendig down to get under it), this motorcycle lift never worked. leaks, parts break, etc..... They are a crooked as a company can get

Just my .02 on those MF's

Whiskers:

Thanks! I had thougt about going really old school, triming the bike out i copper and brass, usinig an old coffee can for an air cleaner, etc. but the truth is this 09 is really really a great riding fun bike and as it's my first bagger, in the end I wanted to keep it really clean, but RR looking.... so many choices when doing a bike.

I also seem to be about the only guy around here that is going anti chrome. Not hat I am against it (my other bikes are and have always been full on chrome), but I guess I am going for a new look

That bike looks sweet...IMO you just need to lose the crash bar and a FatBoy front fender to show more rim...Awsome ride keep up the great work...Keep the shiny, umm Matte side up

I love the combo of the flat black, the red wheels and the whitewalls. It has always been one of my favorite looks.
