Post by: Ramp Rat on March 24, 2009, 06:40 PM: wow - that is looking killer - I know Burner Boys got a bad rap bitd, but I would be stocked to ride one of those today, looks great, the seat clamp looks great with the red R on the nut. Gold and Black is a killer combo. Gonna be a great ride for the Summer time.
