looks good man. i would advise on a billet oil filler cap over that faded black stocka. would set it off nicely

that rockercover candy apple red?

 

[seans VL Calais]

yeah wil most likely be gettting one of the billet caps for it. rocker cover is actually bolted on now, so are runners, injectors, top and bottom hose. getting there slowly, have replaced all bolts so far with stainless. is looking quite nice, will get a few pics over the weekend.
