There ya go, the headlight grill shouts "Get out of my way, coming through!"

The rest of your work is great. Visualize it, make it, fit it. The rest of us mortals can only dream of having access to the equipment you have. It must be a very rewarding and fulfilling way to make a living, giving back mobility.

That looks promising.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Your ADV bike build is a great inspiration.
How's it holding up? Bet it's a blast to ride.

So cool to have the links below with the new forum format to find similar builds.

Coolness.
If there is one thing I have learned throughout this process it is this: Check your respirator for spiders before you put it on.

The pieces you made of black Kydex and put on the engine guards are a great design. I think that raw aluminum though would also look great there to go along with the skid plate.

Here is an interesting story on BikeExif [ http://www.bikeexif.com/dual-sport-gold ... razy-think ]regarding a Dutch custom adventure Wing.

Interesting to read the comments following the article. Wings have a lot of prejudice to live down. :crosso
Bikes at present:

83 XL 600r with a 2004 XR650L engine
And a slightly worse for the wear BMW GS adventure bike awaiting repair
83 GL in process :IDTS:
