    dude, i love it. i'm with you on the patina thing. my first vehicle was a '53 chevy 3100 5 window i bought out of my uncle's cow pasture for $15, and fixed up. right now i have a '54 5600 5 window grain truck that sat next to a barn all of it's life with only 36,000 miles. i'm trying to decide exactly what to do with it, rat or restore, but a repaint is not in it's future.

    Nice build Taylor, I like everything you have done, except for the indicator's, Go to Motone customs, get some lovely billet ones that go with the rear light. Gas / fuel tank looks cool, right decision, its unique. I would also fit a front fender/ mudguard, but that's a personal choice.

    Not a fan of the tank - mostly because I hate the color. Its easy to swap out tough. I have a CB360 that I have a 2nd Navy Blue tank and tan seat option for that makes the bike look completely different then its standard White tank and black seat...

  • @mcfuller5020

    The bike came out great. The brat/café racer style really isn't my thing, but I can appreciate the amount of work that goes into something like this. And yes, you're crazy, but it's a good kind of crazy! :)
    About the license plate bracket, can someone verify something I heard about California? I heard that California requires the license plate on motorcycles to be mounted horizontal. Is that true?
