The next day I got the finishing touches complete, including a Moose Racing skid plate and Tusk universal pipe guard:

After that all I had left to do was to install the couple decals I had made for the bike and try to do something about that super faded gas tank. Like I mentioned before I was already way over budget on this thing, so graphics were out of the question (couldn't find any I liked, anyway), and didn't really have a ton of free options as far as the tank was concerned. I ended up just coating it in a think layer of ArmorAll, let it dry, then buffed it out with a clean rag. And then it was good. The bike was finished. I think it came out pretty damn good, all things considered, but you guys tell me what you think:










I'm really proud of how it turned out. I kept the budget as low as possible (I only ended up going over my $1,000 limit due to an unforeseen circumstance that I was already committed to) and did the entire build out of a tiny corner of my mom's garage (I don't have garage space where I live, unfortunately). The only thing I wish I could have done was a new seat since I really don't need the low cut one anymore, and I may still do that in the future. I have a few videos of the first ride that I'll share soon once I get around to editing the footage.
