HOTT Dang!

Could spend hours just looking over and over the details on this machine! Open belt cover, Ford carbies, custom tank, custom seat - just look at the little bridge bar, custom, custom, custom, simply beautiful! And I bet it sounds not half bad either!

they truly are great! They look scarred & scratched on the outside but new on the inside. They set up easy. Fast start up, very snappy with the pipes. I would use them again. I know it looks close. I hammered a little well under each side of the tank before I painted it. There's clearance (good eye ;) )

Be glad to. Just as soon as I figure it out. I've been struggling with this whole Phototoilet thing.

Love it, congrats on BOTM! What throttle assembly are you running here? I'm looking for a stripped down version just like this right now..
