Dang steve that looks sweet. If you need something to clean up those handlebars take a look at some chrome stuff made by Eagle 1, its a giant wad of cleaner you just rip off and comes in a tin can, stuff does wonders on chrome.

Nice... are the tires supposed to be mounted with the tread opposite each other?

Thanks!!! I had alot of fun doing this build. I even got my wife to help!!!:wink: I spent about 30 hours with everything. And probably spent about $100 on materials (I still need a new seat and tires, another $160). The motor runs great. It does leak a little gas out of the bottom of the carb when it's parked but if I shut the valve off to the gas it's fine. I thought the tread was wrong too but after looking at the brochures HENT posted from Teeks in another thread, I was suprised to see that that's how the tread pattern is.ut:

I like it a lot. My bike does the same thing when parked, I LOVE the colors on that bike. How much for total restoration?
