    Nice

    Just curious in TX are you allowed to run vertical plates,,, they passed a law here in FL that plates must be mounted properly ie horizontal and in plain view.

    Due to sport bikes hiding plates and running from the cops...

    That side plate would be illegal... She might want to be sure if she takes it out of state what the laws are in the other states. It's as high as a $1500 fine here...

    Get around the big cities and they'll nail your butt. If I could get the wife to move I'd live in the most remote place I could find. :D

    Hey there Chuck, I would have to say that I like that project a lot. sorry I am so late at responding to this but I just joined a little while ago. this project gave me a lot of ideas for my next bike. Especially the powder coating. I have been debating on completely polishing the engine on my current bike or powdercoating. These pics made my decision for me. thank You.
