Very very nice.... how was the paint job was done?

Thanks All. Really appreciate all your comments. Referencing the original artwork (link a few posts back), I mocked up a photoshop document and met with the airbrush artist. He took some creative liberty in having the artwork on both sides and included some blood spots that I have really grown to like. Took about a month - I'm very pleased with the results. Thanks again for looking!

Best,
B

Great looking bike. Good job.

I like the looks of the D&D exhaust but I'm hesitating because of how low the mufflers hang. Do you have any problems with the mufflers scraping over bumps?

You certainly do need to be aware of any pot holes (I'm always on the lookout here in the city). I have scraped many times on poor roads with deep holes - but never in the twisties as some others have said. I'm about 170lbs and most bumps and dips don't result in a scrape. I limit any riding with an additional passenger to the suburbs and highway as the clearance is even less with the additional weight.
That being said, I really enjoy them and love the sound. If you are willing to be a little more cautious I'd say go for it!

Bike looks great!

Paint that headlight bucket black & it'll complete the look. Maybe have the ring sprayed in the same texture that's on the seat cowl

That paint job is epic. I would be afraid to ride it in the event I scratched it.
