Somehow that colour scheme seems to make the 'tank' look much bigger. Nice bike!

I've been thinking about going with a different airing and painting it to match the scheme. This makes me want to do that even more now.

Looks like you had lots of fun with fiberglass. Do you still itch?

Can you tell me where you sourced the mufflers? - They look very clean!

Ebay, they rust a bit every season but cimichrome polish fixes them up to look presentable.
