Dang, that's pretty.

I'm looking at those speed holes in the side covers thinking "yeah......."

It is a nice build.

Verry nice custom. Love the colors and the massive front look. Not sure I like the look of the rear with so much of the tire visible but overall this is a very nice build!

I fail to see the purpose of the "speed holes".

This really makes me want to build a custom standard. The colors are exactly what I like.
Maybe I'll paint my interstate like it.

I really like this build, have admired it for a long time and have studied it quite a bit for future reference. :blush:

Not sure I like the look of the rear with so much of the tire visible ...

In my book, showing a little tire is not such a bad thing. It has a certain appeal. <Ahem>

I fail to see the purpose of the "speed holes".

There is no purpose. They're just styling cues. And they look bad a**. There are lots of things on motorcycles and cars that don't really have a functional purpose. Kinda like late '50s fins.

To me, this is one of the better GL builds to come around. Lots of very well thought out touches.

Very nice bike. Interesting tires compared to what we use over here.

I like it, as for the speed holes, as somebody once said "there's nothing lighter than a hole!"
