Airman..if you look real close, you will see the oil cooler under the transmission and swingarm. Since it is not directly in the airstream, I tripled the size from the stock one. We will see how well it works. I do plan on making more than one. :wink:

Pat...good to see that you are still checking in here once and a while. This is the same bike I have been working on since we last talked. Almost finished now!
BTW...I like that 8-Ball too!!

Mike...come on, you still can't keep up with that 650? Lookin forward to New Years eve. Make sure you invite paul too.
The Torrey Beakster Bash Video will be released early 2006 :P :P

Randy, you gotta bring it by Vermont at the next annual, it'll shock people.

Absolutely 100% tasteful and beautiful. Nothing I'd do differently, though a twin spark would have looked nicer. But hell, I don't have half your talent so thats it for criticism.

If BMW went this route with their cruiser, it would be their best seller in the US.

You have brilliantly showcased what I always felt is the most beautiful engine in motorcyling. Like a diamond in a jewelcase...almost brings a tear to my eye!!!!

Great job and congrats

Randy - for some reason I neglected to open this thread for quite a while. I have to say, I ain't much for choppers and custom bikes in general but yours is flat out beautiful! Very nice and clean work of art!

Thanks Vann...my idea was to make a custom bike that actually rides and handles as good as it looks. I think I got the looks part down and the next couple of weeks will tell about the rest :P

Scott...I'm in between the 4th and 5th clear coat on the rear fender as I write!!
