all done and here she is all lit up, the headlight seems low beaming compared to the rear might have to upgrade the wiring in the headlight housing

I really like the way the bars and the integrated rear rack work in the overall effect. This looks to be a really comfortable and practical custom bike. Sharp.

Is the rack one-piece, or does the chrome section adjust?

chrome section adjusts, it started life as this a few of my friends were fooled into thinking it was a high end cruiser

I don't mean to pick Sled, but have you considered vinyl-dying the seat to complete the look?

I just put a checkerboard pattern on a toolbox (http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l156/Wordbiker/IMAG0402.jpg) with dye, and no doubt with your skills, you'd do an even better job.
