I'm pretty sure when the OP asked for opinions he wasn't looking for some random jerk-off to crap all over his custom work. If you asked for feedback on your ride I wouldn't tell you what I really think of a bone-stock Honda RS b/c I have more class than that. Man, I feel sorry for the poor guy that asks for opinions on his rusted 85 VT700. Make sure you tell them how you honestly feel too.

To the OP, nice work creating a bike you can be proud off. I like the look and the subtle changes to the lights and electrical work with the bags. I'd ride it in a heartbeat.

He asked for opinions, not compliments.
When I ask for an opinion I want an honest opinion.

Random jerk-off? Yes, real class.

Yes, my bikes and cars are all mostly stock.
I show the one below here because it's a Shadow.
It has Honda Boulevard windscreen, GPS, Cruise Control, Cobra rear rack, headlight modulator and EZ-Brackets for the saddlebags.
As far as opinions of this bike go, it won "Most beautiful bike" contest in the motorcycleforum.com website.

I like the bagger look, but the side plate on the bag just doesn't look well..
You should get plasmarods for signals.

Thank you. I am happy with the way it turned out.

I woud like to see it with mini apes too, but ive spent enough money on it for this year. Next winter we will do some more to it.




Thanks everybody for your opinions. For the most part it needs either more black or chrome. Its a Hit and Miss with that. As for the bags, they were free ( just added Paint )
