Yeah. And the total price will be less than 500 bucks, not counting the cost to have the carbs rebuilt and the cost to have it painted (going to go with Dodge's Inferno Red Crystal Pearl. Its one of the closest OEM paints I could find to Candy Apple Red - and I didn't want to have to deal with the hazards of repairing a candy paint job if something happened to the bike.
I'll be doing it a lot like this one
but with the stock suspension and air box/electronics covers, forward controls, and with the rear fender moved rearward just a little bit to make it cover more of the tire (I'll have a bit more leeway on that then he did, because the air box cover will be there still. Meaning I can start the fender right at the end of the cover and it will look just fine, instead of having to start it much lower along the wheel.)
We'll be doing tails similar to the way he did his, with the turn signals acting as brake lights as well, except that I'm also going to hide some red LED strips up under the fender to serve as a center brake light. I don't want to get rear ended. If we have enough space, we're just going to make a custom license plate frame and mount the LED strips onto it, with the plate hanging down over the tire.

P.S. - Oh yeah, and some bada$$ white walls.
