| That is looking way cool. But then again I ain't surprised, your work kicks ass man. I bet if you gave pin a shot you could do it too. You don't seem to be too low on talent man, with the other stuff you are putting out. | |

| I like how you opened the throat of the gas fill.......how did you do that? Not something that I will probably do until the bike gets torn down again.....(so probably never!!!) Just curious! Paint looks REAL good! |

| looks really cool chuck, as for Ideas I like your logo idea say with some matching flames coming off of it or maybe you can do a texas type star with matching flames or a combo of both, | |

| NICE!!!! maybe add some flames in a slightly different shading, and there ya go!!!
Actually, just had a thought.....black fairing.... granet inlay like the tank and bags.... in the primary front surface of the fairing, the state of texas with the star inside it, filling it as much as possible...shading and shadowes as needed for the look. then some small flames and such coming from the headlight area through both scoops of the fairing (lower both sides). then your totally cool illumitated etched windscreen! you may want (or not...depending on mock up) to extend the flames to the upper wings out near the hand grips, but I would bring those from the headlights also and not the state of TX/Star. Just a thought! | |

| I don't know that you need to do anything to the fairing or fender. That bike is bad ass as she sets man. Hope your ride was safe and time was great. | |
