Hey Josh, as an option; look for a local powder coating business. They can usually bead blast parts. After getting them back; sand with wet/dry, starting with 400, work your way to 1500. Use a polishing wheel with some brown rogue, and maybe some scotch brite pads to get the finish you want.
If you can't find someone local; PM me, be glad to help out with bead blasting.

Btw- if any of the 'custom' shops suddenly turn up at a show with this- just mention my screen name for my snits and giggles. I'm not original to the style- but thus far- several years into this model existing, nobody else has done it.

I think it looks promising. Now step back a few paces and take a photo that includes the whole bike. Probably coming soon...

Looks good. THat should really confuse those that wonder if it's a new model or an old one.

looks great .. exactly my thoughts .. vintage 1980's honda look like in the Nighthawk 700 series as well

Looking good Josh! I'm also liking what I can see of your seat - let's see that wide shot!
