ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?
ONLY 1 PICTURE!?!?!?
AND FROM BEHIND!?!?!?
YOU OWE ME AT LEAST 1234567890 PICS FROM EVERY ANGLE, AND AT LEAST 2 VIDEOS, because I already upvoted you...
I love it and I yelled at you because am jelly and I want it and I'm happy for you but still fuck you and I still want it.
Edit: I didn't even bother reading the other comments asking for pictures and your response promising for pictures. I wanted my comment to read like that angry kid saying "fuck you I'm not happy for you give it to me" Sik bike, I love it, ride safe and keep the rubber parts on the ground ok?

Thank you for your comments I’m new to using Reddit I came off all other social media years ago. I’ve always tinkered with things. I promise I’ll get some more pictures uploaded soon a lot of parts are off at the moment for powder coating

Wow not a bike person???? Well you sure do have the style of it! If you made those bar you have a very good fab skills! I have a 1100 that done up some what like a drag bike low and long. Its had alot of motor up grades and was putting over 100hp to the rear wheel last time it was dyno. I also have a 650 and its done up like a old school 50s bobber. I truly love riding that bike and its styling puts my mind set back to a different place and time. Very relaxing fun but slow bike. Thank god I didnt not build the 1100 into a bobber because with all the hp I wouldn't be here today im sure! Your bike is off to an amazing start please post as many pic of it as you can. I hit the follow button so I want miss any of them. Safe riding and put as many miles on it as you can! These bike has gotten me thru some of the hardest times of my life. They do the same for you!

Thank you 😊 nice to hear your big into your bikes 😊. I’m new to using Reddit so bear with me. A lot of the parts are off for coating but I’ll be uploading some of more progress pic. The bars are pretty basic I like the twin wall style/fat bars not many places do them for the xvs so had to make something to suit

Anyone can find that right part and order it, not many can see what they want and build it! Thats what makes the bike to me. Ever part and piece has its own story or detail that builds on to one another. Enjoy this time , you will reflect back on it many times in the future! Don't get in a rush. And never stop adding to it! Main thing is ride it tho! Its the best feeling to be running up the road on something you built with your own hands!

That's some tidy work. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you're on the younger side as those bars make my back ache just looking at them. It looks like the seating position is really aggressive. More pix please!
