I like.

I see the shotgun shifter and see that the clutch lever is not on the handlebar. Could you please clue me in on where your clutch is?

The clutch for the time being is on the right pedal no real brake, buutttt that was just a quick fix we are taking the front discs off and putting the clutch as my brake handle and just have a rear brake

Looked better before the total blacked out treatment IMHO. I also don't care for the shifter. It would get you shot by the law where I live in a minute.

i'm with u on the "nothin pretty needed" i really don't like when there's too much chrome or the rider wipes it off everytime he gets off....a little wear and tear shows character(i have a small ding in my tank and i like the one in yours!)

and loud is always good! mine is decently loud and the backfire is louder, my friend's shadow is tame compared to my beast! and to me and my fellow metalheads, beast is a compliment!! lol

I'm on the fence like a few others. I'm feelin' the handlebars in the matte black. Slick, though I seem to like it best in the shot next to the truck and the dog. It looks raw though and that is a bonus. Do you wear all black when you ride? The shotgun kinda looks like a toy to me IMHO. I'm not diggin it too much. What about something else to match the theme of the bike more. IDK, maybe a thick chain with the links welded together. IDK, just an idea.

Def. stands out though and I dig the pipes alot. I like the taper at the end. But mostly those handlebars are the sh*t.
