I love how folks say "no offense but" and say something offensive.  :laugh:
Like it makes it okay?  :dunno_white:
Maybe they meant it as constructive criticism?  Or, it's just their opinion.  In which case, no offense should be taken.

I like it, IMO.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

wow thats for all the replies....im glad you like it.... and yeah that is rim tape on the bike....not just on the wheels....the side fairings are going to get redone in black and red.....the red will be on the chin area towards the bottom....more of a two tone look....didnt have enough clearcoat that day to finish....as of now i painted my chainguard and heelplates red to match....but thats it...and i cant get my bar ends back on so im riding without them lol

Well I can appreciate anyone doing custom work, keep it up.  I hope my original post didn't seem negative...though I think it did.

Scratch hit the nail on the head...I really wasn't trying to be offensive.  I simply gave what my first impression of the bike was.  Take it or leave it.   :flipoff:

The red accents are nice, but the lower fairings not matching the upper fairings (or the stripe on the tank) looks kinda ghetto.  I'd spend a bit more time and/or money on paint and make it look more professional.  Then it will be  :thumb:.
