:cool2: Can't say I'd like bending over to the bar, but every other detail is awesome!

Thanks much - may have to adjust the bar back up to tweak the riding position for longer rides - lol [emoji1360]
 
Ok... Been radio silent for a bit. Here's some little updates - polished a little more, added some new hardware, wheels will be done tomorrow, fab'd a few brackets for the copper safety-wires from the knock-offs (yes you heard me right :) ), and did a few other detaily things. We'll be shooting the finished pics on Friday / Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Fingers crossed for good weather and good light. Here's a few little pics, you'll have to wait for the finished pics til then.

Love the little knock-offs!:cool2::thumbsup:

One thought for you if I may... This is such a clean tidy bike, there are some other clean neat approaches to tie wires. I'm also thinking a thinner gauge SS wire might fit the scale better. Just my .02, looks cool as is!
Here's an example that I found...

Revised the safety wire after the awesome suggestion from TRM - THANKS [emoji1303]

Nothing like a little shine to brighten your day :)

The color combinations are exquisite. I really like the way the copper works with the blue. I can't imagine riding it. I'd just set it up in my living room and stare at it.
