trouble is you think you know what bits are needed and what is going where.  then it all gets thrown up side down when you get a new idea  ;D

that and where you hid the stuff away from the wife and new baby  ;D

That polished stem is lush  :smitten:

Are the bars chrome - thats would produce a nice match?
Title: Re: DP Firebird GL Plus
Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on September 02, 2012, 02:05 PM
Bars are chrome and both together look lickable  :P

but on the DP the bars would be painted - so don't know if a polished one would suit  ???
