Looks SCARY fast!

Trick ride jen, turned out wicked coo!

I especially like the salt shaker grip caps. (not to mention that killa car in the back ground) :lol:
Your pinstriping blows me away (as usual) and the wheel disk's are the icing on the cake.

i'd wish ya luck, but it already looks like your a winner.
 
Very Kool HotRodJen. It just looks fast. Artwork exellante and wheel covers are supurb. Enjoy riding your nice new speed cruiser.
 
some more photos ... i forgot to mention before the tank would hang down kinda floating between the 2 down tubes and make tones of noise and drive me crazy i bent the little tab thats welded onto the headtub down a tad bit and squeezed the snot out of the top and bottom of the tank to make it fit about the tab so there was no movement ... now it lays right under the top down tube and there is no noise !

rode it all night friday in nj :) and this shot was taken in harrisburg pa on saturday
 
I accidently crossed over the wrong bridge into Harrisburg at night once, on my way to visit a friend in what's-it-called, the hospital town between Bloomburg and the river. Hills up there, at least the ones with paved streets, don't seem quite as steep as around here, but man, they are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer. :lol:
