did you get that exhaust all in one piece or did you cut it and weld the back part on i was wanting to go a little past the back peg and 45 out cut nicely obviously haha and what kind of alterations did you do to that carb after the new exhaust?
and p.s. thats a crazy idea to have that original metal behind the writing ... just awsome man

Looks in the photo like there's no air filter at all; that will definitely make it run different, especially if the exhaust is wide open, is that how you're riding it?

Absolutely beautiful Bobber man ... well done!
Now you need to take her out to a nice backdrop (covered bridge, 50's diner, hot rod shop, or grafitti'd wall, etc.) and get some calendar-type "art" photos!

Very nice work dude. I really like the 3D effect of the red lettered
Twisted
on the side of the tank over the sparkly grey area.
Is that a grey metal flake type paint or is it a clear coat over the blasted metal ?

Not bad at all.
I think if mine was in bare metal I'd have dressed the frame welds, although your frame appears to have better welds than mine to start with. I can hang a pencil on some of the "boogers" the factory left on it.
Keep an eagle eye on that factory headlight bucket. The plastic is pretty fragile. You might want to order a metal replacement just in case.
Since you don't have/need passenger pegs, you might want to put an extra exhaust brace in there. I ran mine with struts for awhile, constantly having to retighten the exhaust port nuts.
Renegade, any bike shop that has cruiser stuff should have that bag. Including dealerships with a smart (that means an actual rider) parts manager.
