    Don't know about that seat, looks sharp but my guess is you better ride at night or park in the shade. One way to make a hot a$$ woman I guess LOL. Like everything else you've done and I have seen pics of, your work is killer.

    Looking good Chuck, shinny seat, good for the short haul. I like the clamp and tach, good match for the bike set up. You should be on the Discovery channel, looks good. :D

    Do you have to wear a helmet in TX? If so we need to becareful we don't swell Chuck's mellon until he has to spend funds on a new brain bucket. LOL

    Seriously though Chuck does crank out some stuff that beats what I have seen out of the "NAME" guys. Hidden talents always build the best stuff. Folks with unlimited budgets and free to advertise my parts stuff don't impress me over Old School make it fit/work guys.
