lookin good  :thumb: that headlight looks 100x better then the single round one.

Hmm...

It might look better if it was centered in the trees.

Are you going to spray the bike so all the yellow matches ?

How's the performance of the headlight, and if it's decent what bulbs does it use ?

Is there any windscreen effect or is it typically cosmetic ?

Enjoy your 'new' bike. :)

Yeah, sorry about the bad picture.

No, I might just paint the whole thing blue and silver, but the yellows are pretty close.

the head light was a waste of my money, stay away from them, since iv had it the bulbs have burnt out 4 times, and the plastic is chinsey.

Typically cosmetic, unless you lay on the tank, which i do when its cold.

The black frame doesn't do anything for me, but the bike looks good otherwise.  :thumb:

Hey, hey, I kinda LIKE the round light.  Looks retro and a bit British.

And, to the original poster -- speaking of retro, put some gaiters on those forks!  Your fork seals will thank me later.

Looks nice!   :thumb:  Only change that I would make (if it were mine) is to paint the front fender yellow to match the rest of the body work.  But that is a minor, minor thing...
