Looks good...

are you planning a steering damper? The reason I am asking is because of the rake angle and far reach to the bar controls makes for a less stable platform, a damper would help that out

You could pick up a used OEM damper from a suzuki for cheap and fab up some brackets for it

Or check ebay/forums for dampers. If you can't fab your own brackets, it's going to get pricey though.

that bike looks super sweet. if it were for sale i'd consider buying it, but i live in texas, so i instead dream of ways to make my own bike this sweet. the only thing i think i'd like is dual head lights, but that is a total matter of taste. i might also do something to protect my butt from debree from the rear tire.

you are in luck it is going up for sale very soon. I just want to take it all apart and repaint the frame or maybe powder coat it.

"Do you know why I pulled you over?"

"No officer."

"Do you know how fast you were going?"

"No idea, but I can guess if you like."

That's cool... made me smile.

I love it when people do things differently

Once again... I bet the neighbors love you when you ride by
