i wasn't trying to be mean, but I know it came across that way.



That "chrome" spray paint you used on your headlight, is probably going to bubble off after your run your headlight for about 10 minutes. You can't use it on your exhaust pipes and headers like you said either, because it's not rated for heat. You mentioned that you were going to paint your headlight yellow, originally... the yellow headlights you're referring too aren't painted, they are either yellow glass lenses, or a yellow bulb.



And flipping your bars upside down MIGHT give you a comfortable riding position if you had low bars to begin with, but you have pretty tall bars. I don't know how tall you are, or what you're planning to do about rearsets, but I can't really imagine that you're going to have a comfortable riding position.



It seems like you're eager to get going on this bike, which is a good mentality to have, but you should slow down and think some of this stuff through.
