I never really had a liking for the blacked out motor until yours. I really like the contrast. Have you any pictures of the motor up close and how did you get the motor and the cylinders black?Did you paint or coat or what? Looks great.

Dan, are those Mike's XS rear shocks? I have a set like those from mikes. They are STIFF! ( I weigh 180#) How are yours? On mine the spring hits the chain, so I'm thinking I'll turn them over.

to head pipe with 10deg.bend progressive springs in front the gas charged
shocks are from mikes xs seat and tail are hot wingglass. the engine was painted with vht paint. the bike runs very strong,been running this for 2 years.
