When I was doing donuts, the radiator shell tipped forward, I only have 2 bolts in the bottom right now
 
I'm not going to change much but after getting it out of that 12x24 garage so I can stand back and look at it, I think the little Ford engine is too darn long. I sure would like to see the grill about 4 inches closer to the cowl and back down to 106" wb like I started with instead of the 110 it is now. I might be able to cheat the radiator and grill back an inch or so
 
I have to get the lights working yet. Also I'm waiting on the state for a serial number so I can license it. It is real loud and I know I can't get away with driving it like that so I'll have to make a collector and baffle of some sort. Since everyone with a new Harley has to buy different pipes, I was thinking a little Sportster style muffler on each pipe. I'm going to check at the HD shop and see if they have any, the probably throw them away. Otherwise plan B is to use some larger pipe and affix it to the zoomies. Only probelm there is they will be leg burners.
And speaking on loud, I see lots of pictures of rods with pipes similiar in length to mine, how do they get away with driving those? These pipes are arrest me loud, no way I could ever get away with them on the street.
 
A lot of guys make (or use old motorcycle) baffles slid into each pipe. That way you have the look of open pipes without the excessive noise
