Thanks for the comments boys.
Werner, I have been getting flak from all my mates about those Ox Blood grips shakehands , so I finally swapped them out for black ones, and I darkened the leather on the seat, now I think it all works well together.Image

Geez, what's that puddle in the background, is your water pump leaking?

Norbert, absolutely beautiful. Low and mean, looks like it's moving whilst standing still. action1 action1 action1

Maybe you can get BOTM again, isn't this a leap year?

I find it incredible that every part of your bike, down to the last nut and bolt, has passed through your hands and been treated with care and attention. You can honestly say you know your bike inside and out.

The workmanship throughout and attention to detail borders on OCD, but clearly that can be a good thing sometimes. Well done! You have created a masterpiece.

I like the tool roll. LastMohawk, they're for stopping to help other bikes.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.
