This here is a great build. Rat on rat, new parts look like they came with the bike, old parts are survivor bike intact. I'd ride this and I'd park it with the rest of mine too if I could.

It's just right. I know how difficult it is for a ratter to say this, but "I wouldn't change a thing."

Nice work G! Those TRM tanks are fun aren't they? It gives such a unique look to the build, no matter what direction you take it. Like your color and patina on this one. The bar's position works really well with your design.

Home run.
The lines and the paint work just kill it
