I looked at the before photo and then the after photos and all I could say is WOW. Great job and a very cool bike that is "ride on"

A lot of choice parts on that bike and dollar for dollar, your bike packs quite a punch.
I especially like the way you doubled up on the twinflex fork and the chrome against that green really pops.

I'm keeping all of the original parts in case I decide to go back to original at some point.
