This is NOT a bobber attitude!

Now paint match that rear fender to the tank! I would (and this may be just me) lightly sand all the chrome to give it a brushed look, and sand the frame just a bit to match the flat black. Graphics? Stripes?? Your choice. Well, YOU asked.

Good luck, it looks great so far.

Most important thing to do next is ride it!

Sell it and start a new project.

The bike looked like was in really good shape before. What made you decide to go this route?

Im not to keen on the looks of the old stock shadows, so I figured I would make the bike look diffrent so far I'm having fun doing the upgrades and tinkering with it, it gets a lot of looks now that its bobbed always getting complements on it.

What size tires are you running on the bike, if you don't mind me asking. I just put some smaller, all black arrow headed signals on one of my bikes, looks sharp. Probably swapping out my headlight for something else-was thinking of an old school, big azz headlamp with the shade... but in all black.

...

that...that's really funny Gat!

Now on to the OP. It's a good start. But, my opinion, you've still got a lot of work to do. Yeah...black it all out. Wrap the pipes. And get rid of the rear baffles. Though...you may have to re jet. I like "Bobbers."
