Doesn't Nitrous eat an engine alive?

Very smart!

Yea, Nitrous will destroy a motor, if you're stupid with it.
It leans the mixture going into the engine. Any motor will die if it runs too lean for too long.

That's amazing. It would be absolutely stunning if it had a front fender/mud guard. What's up with the non-mudguard look anyway? One could be cut to fit.

I love the paint on it... really looks like clear over bare metal but it's much too even to be so. Quite an amazing effect.

It looks like an S&S bike.. (not to be confused with S.S.)
I like it overall... and I agree w/ Frog.. a cut or formed front fender would help.
But it's still pretty hot. Nice one Bobo!

I was wondering if it was the house of colors chrome paint with a satin finish. I painted a guys entire car with the stuff years ago. Looked cool but was the glare off the hood was to bad to drive it. This looks nice.

It was almost like clear over metal, and only the eveness of the colour let you know it wasn't.
