I like that you left the hardware chrome. When people paint the hardware it makes it look like someone just took a rattle can to the entire bike and didn't care where the paint went.

Very nice!! I've always had a thing for blacked out bikes. I especially like the twin air filters and the black painted wheels.

Is that a Blue Collar Bobbers pipe?

Nice job! Black always looks great. Never seems to go out of style. Where did you get the sissy bar? I've been looking for something like that.

Pretty sure that's a Jardine pipe.

I like it and I agree with the hardware/rattle can statement made above.

I like how you got rid of the Speedo on the tank! Was that just a little welding and some Bondo?

well done! good riddance! your bike does not looks gloomy and not like a "rat" . all the best.. maybe only if some of the covers on the filters... they are slightly discord with the rest of the appearance of bike. but this is my IMHO :)

thank guys for the comments.

the sissy bar is the stock one i just added 6" to it andgot the pad off of ebay.

and with the muffler im not sure what kind it is but i got it from ebay for like 35 or 40 dollars.

i was not sure what to do with the intake i just wented something diff. so its all i could come up with.

the paint took forever it seemed like. i had it down to the bare frame.

i did the big bore kit in it.
new cam, cam chain, rockers, clutch allmost everthing.

the only thing i do not like is the tempature sensor does not fit in the hole for the spark plug so i had to put it under a bolt on the head witch makes the tempature off a little

ditch the head temp sensor and get the water temp sensor and adapter M14x1.25 and use it as and oil temp sensor.  That's what I did, and it works great

i just looked them up that sounds like a great idea thank you

mine seems like it allways runs hot but so did all the other air cooled bikes i have had did to.

IIRC it ran 220's °F for the most part till the triple digit summer temps then it was in the 230's  never got over high 240's even at long stop lights

I'm trying one of these as a oil temp gage...

http://www.trailtech.net/media/press_releases/tto/72-ET1_sensor_w340.jpg

The cable is a little short as I've attached it to the forward facing oil port.
The 14mm size fits tightly on the plug.

Even on a cold morning it's reading 197°F and 209°F on the way home.

I got an M12 under the head bolt next to and forward of the sparkplug and it's reading 270/280°F
