Those wheels really do it for me. Are they polished or chrome plated?
Nice detail.

The paint job on the rear end of Carol's bike is gorgeous.
Especially after looking at my ugly ass gold rear end.

Wow.
Impressive, clean work on those hand controls! Kinda' Russell Mitchell-like. 
I do hope you can Photoshop an image of one of your projects over that Duc real soon!

They are chrome plated. The details are coming out even more striking than I anticipated, thanks.

Have you considered using Dynabeads so you don't fark up those sweet rims with balancing weights?

I have used Dynabeads on 2 sets of Michelin Pilot Road II's and am impressed. Removed all balance weights and the bike runs true and smooth.

God idea Duck. THe front runs true without weights, the rear has a chrome weight (.2oz) and is not too noticeable. I'll use the beads on the Cafe'. Thanks for the tip.

WHOA!
Those are some awesome results + beautiful paint work.
One complaint- you are on the left coast. Kinda' hard to drop my brick off there.
