Dude!
have you done this for paying customers. I have a 750F that could use your skills. I'll attach a pic and you can let me know if thats something you're interested in.
Sorry for the thread jack - Ill take the pic down if you want

Laserjock, its much more fun for me to make the bike how i want it and then sell it as opposed to letting a customer come to me with an idea that i think is stupid or tacky or would look like shit. This is the second bike i've build solely to sell. the rest i planed on keeping or riding for a season myself and then maybe unload. I'm not implying that your ideas would be tacky, just that a lot of people think differently. For all i know, you want a 6" wide tire and flat black paint with "59" stickers all over it, or a sticker on the side of the tank that says "CAFE". But if you want to give me creative freedom with it i'd be glad to make it uncomfortable and less reliable for you!
I made a fork brace for it this weekend.


i think i'm going to cut some cressent moons in to it in the front and back to make it visually smaller.

I had Kings in Roanoke upholster the seat this week. Good work by them as always. Next week i'm welding up some stainless megaphones and finishing the exhaust.
rearsets are about an inch or two too far back, and about 2 inches too low. lots of folks put them in the passenger peg location like this, but i'm thinking about moving them. I didn't want to weld on the frame to where it couldn't be put back to stock oneday. These were a big milestone for Honda and are a little on the rare side. But i'm getting closer to not caring about that and just making the bike as i want it regardless.
I rode it around a little. No mufflers yet, so i don't want to ride it too much. Maybe just around the block this weekend since its going to be so nice.

i got my megaphones in from Burns and welded up the exhausts. bike is pretty damn loud! Runs / handles great, i'm almost ready to stick a fork in it, cause its almost done. i'm going to polish up the aluminum bits and list it for an unreasonable price on CL so i can ride it for a while.
