Being a Hot Rod and a Mopar fan I had to follow this one. Looks great so far. The bike will look slick mounted in the bed of the ole' Dodge.

Tried putting the Hood ornament as a chain guard but had clearance issues and I also just wasn't feelin it. So I had another one that was broken, cut it down and mounted it on the front . Not sure I'm feelin it ether

I may opt for a ratty headlight

I like the chainguard choice. Hope you find a place you like the ornament.

YES!!!! Another hoodie!!

Took it on a shake down run , rode really nice. Think I'm diggin the light more than the Hoodie.

Looks cool with the yellow rims, BoaGs, and bare metal tank!

 

[ChrisMac]

love that yellow

 

[kingfish254]

I agree that the light works better.
Have you thought about using the hood ornamanet in the tank area? That is actually where I thought you were going to put the long hoodie at (similar to Schwindian).
Bike is looking sharp.

EDIT: Forgot that you already have a tank.

I'm not a fan of yellow, but on this bike I would so keep those rims yellow. They look great.

And I wish I had made my truss rods on The Seminole aluminum. Not that I even know where I'd get the aluminum tubing...

Thanks, as a kid I had two brothers all 1 year apart. We all were assigned colors growing up. My oldest brother was blue , middle was red , I was yellow. My mom would sew our color thread in the toes of our socks and by the tag in our underwear so we knew who's was who's. It all started when our aunt bought us drinking cups when we were real little. When my Mom asked me a while back why I liked yellow so much I told here it was my assigned color she forgot all about it . then she told me the story.

The tubing I got at a surplus store for scrap price.
