From the latest pics on the Inside thread, that bike is beautiful. Even though I live in the city that produces Big Dogs, I generally don't care for choppers/cruisers/your choice of terms, however, RCHOP's bike is really tastefully done, the lines are clean, the positoning of components is creative and well balanced, and the selection of finishes has resulted in look that is seamless. The bike deserves a couple of CYCLE WORLD pages to itself.

Very classy design. Love to know more about it. But I agree with an earlier post, the details should be in a glossy mag. Just curious how much the wet weight is? I know I would give a cold pint of Anchor Steam to hear a sound clip of that exhaust 8)
Congrats!
