The paint is interesting. I don't mind it but it probably killed any resale value. If you are going to keep her forever, more power to you!

Where did the corbin seat come from? Thats a neat part.

It looks like a really clean bike. Did you plug the mirror holes with regular stainless hex head bolts?

this bike is a keeper, no need to consider resale value.
that went out the window the day the alpinas were installed!

the corbin seat came from corbin of course.(via their vancouver distributor)

you nailed it on the mirror plugs. it was the simplest & cleanest solution.



the sticker on the right side will be coming off as soon as i can get around to it.
all the right side bits & pieces had to be replaced when some hack decided to back into my bike on a sunday drive, they knocked the bike over & pulled a vanishing act!
the replacement can from termi had the sticker whereas my stock setup has been powdercoated, during that process the stickers were removed...

I'm not sure I understand the roses. Any special meaning or insight there?

That's the fun of customizing bikes - get to make it your own.
