well unfortunatly i cant find the camera i think the wife is holding it hostage for some reason but i managed to get the wiring shortened up, front fender painted black and part of the battery box! the next step pulling the rest of the battery box out and painting the gas tank! my vision for the bike is a mostly blacked out bike with simple details that set if apart from most bikes! tghe bike is gonna stay a two up bike i dont wanna get shot by the wife becuz she cant ride lol well im gonna try to dig out some pics on the comp and post them tell me what ya think

I like my hardtails because it's ANTI geezer glide,lol.All the bike night "bikers" don't know what to think about it.Around here even my old Harley isn't good enough for the"I bought a brand new Harley,now I'm a biker"crowd.

i like the way the hardtail bikes look.. if i dont like the way it handles i can put the stock shocks on and go from there but first i got to finish the pain job and making my custom intake!

I like the progressive shocks with full covers, they also have slash cut and flames (I think)

at least the springs are hidden

With the hardtail, I'm curious how much your wife still wants to ride (the bike)? ;D I had struts on mine when I bought it and she wouldn't even give the bike a chance, & after I shook my innards a few too many times I was glad I found a pair of take off shocks on this forum to make it better.
