Looks great in black. I hope those exposed timing belts don't eat any rocks! I don't know why, but I'm envisioning a pair of faux shorty Gatling guns attached to the timing pulleys :lol:

Love the streetfighter look!

Now that it's all black, it would look really cool to do the gas-mask mod around those projectors:

I've seen people put their horns inside the gas mask breather(s)... looks really cool.

Scott, do you think that the CBR tank and seat would fit an '84 GL1200? I would think so but I have never seen an 1100 in person to know.

Awesome, maybe for your bike, the next thing would be CBR forks and wheel?

A belly pan/scoop would look appropriate. As well as some perf-metal panels to fill in under the tank to keep bugs out of your air filter. Same thing for your triangle side panels.

A custom under-seat exhaust would be a neat trick. Or the under-engine exhausts... super compact for a clean swingarm.

Get yourself one of those low profile fairings like the Ducatis had.
