                  that is a pretty custom front end setup you are going for...

                  Roccet - that is some fancy work there - you need a thread explaining how you got to this point...

                          A little tough to follow up Roccet's bike but here is mine pretty much done for now. Started out as a non-running freebie '82 XJ1100 when I got it, 9 months later and about $1200 and this is it now.

                                I am posting from photobucket, I just copy the address of the pic, under picture properties.

                                Then click the 'insert image' icon when you are creating your post and want to ad a picture (looks like a yellow little box with a mountain in it). A text box will pop up and you paste the address into it. This is what works for me.

                                Good luck!

                                Sweet bike by the way, I look forward to more pics!
