I said it's alright and the reasons why are...



The rear section is only so so. I don't see any lights. Not that they matter but I believe you should at least have a tail light even if it's only novelty.



The license plate looks interesting but I would like to see another picture because i'm curious what bolts it's hooked too.



Looks like you're missing a gauge and I'm not feeling the handlebars.



The seat could also be better fit and covered. Which seat pan did you use for it. If you could snag one from a sportster they have plastic pans and a bit of foam and staple gun make everything easy.

That tank cover is pretty snazzy. Also want to see another better picture of that. Engine, exhaust, front end and tank all look nice.

I like the bib a lot now. I also sew bibs for my bike because they look nice and I prefer not to spill gas on the tank.



As for the license plate holder something to think of is that top bolt that it's bolted to is the air breather.



I'm not sure how much it needs to breath but thats what I know.

I thought about the breather screw and went with it anyway, seems to be holding up fine. Might have to rethink if something goes wrong. What do you think about removing one muffler all together and caping it from the h box, then remove baffle on remaining muffler. Kind of a 2 in 1 homemade system?




Bad idea. If you want a 2 into 1 buy one or build it.
