Default Black Betty's FINALLY ready! PICS!

F-I-N-A-L-L-Y, finally I'm done with the bike and ready to post some pics. Ok, we're never "done"! But she's done enough to be brought out in the daylight! I do have a couple changes coming in a week or two (slightly different bars, still black, and center console going back to black), but for now the bike is finished until I get around to choosing a radio and some other minor details down the road.

You guys with the great looking black bikes were killing me when you'd post them. So many nice ones. I kept thinking, if I just do some things 'right' she might just hold her own out there. I'll let you guys be the judge.

And (with tongue in cheek), you see some of the black parts on the black CVO Ultra that was just released? I did my stuff way back in June of '09! So there MoCo! But to this day, MY rotors STILL look better than what the MoCo has to offer! Now, if I could just have that said by a 5 year old kid, it would be much funnier. Seriously though, I have a bunch of pics I'd like to share and I'll re-post a few times just so I can throw some up here.

I'd love to see what you guys think. Love it or hate it, here she is................

Black Betty? Where's Leo? I saw this on your other post, and commented there. Very nicely done.

Default and more.................

Part two of the pics. Bits and pieces first, then the bike in it's various versions. Thanks for the kudos!

Enjoy.

She's GORGEOUS!!! Too many details to comment on just one. Awesome job!!!

That said, expect a legal dispute from LeoHD over the rights to use the name BlackBetty! LOL Personally, I think we need a poll to see who gets the rights!

Nice job. I bet the local powder coater loves you. I like it a lot. It looks like you did a lot of work on it.
