    nice job dude its looking goodYes, if i may say though, toss that m/c cover for one that doesnt have all the writing stamped in it, i forget where i got mine but it was cheap and is holding up well, little details like this stand out especially when your putting in the effort like you are Wink

    Looks great Brandon, it will be tough to compete with you. I hope you will never stretch your tank so I gain some extra points. Smile

     Well guys I finally got it all buttoned up and I am back on the road. While doing all the wireing I was beginning to question if it was going to be worth all the effort but it is more than worth it. The final result came out great in my opinion. My bike is one step closer to the pro-street look I am after.

    I finished up the ignition plate with some triangular sides and painted it semi-gloss black. It is made out of aluminum.

    As you can see here the hole in the top of the neck virtually dissapears with the tank on.

    Here are some walk around pics of the whole bike. As I said I am really happy with the way  it turned out, from the headlight, to the chromed hand controls, and the single front break. I am anxious to ride it at night to see how good the headlight is.

    And that is for this round of mods. Next will probably be a set of custom bars I have been wanting to have made with internal wireing and possibly an internal throttle.

     Your bike is definitely one of the best looking Warriors Ive ever seen.  Good job on it!

    Thanks for the kind words fellas. This site and its awesome membership has been a great help and inspiration throughout my build. This site is an awesome resource for DIY'ers and I hope that I can continue to add to it.
