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...
