Seems well done,but it doesn't engender the WANT in me.

Sorry to spoil that party. I really don't like it.

OK... never liked that 'rounded' style of end of the 60s fairing... screen's too low to be practical even flat on the tank, the exhaust needs an extra bend to fold it back in parallel with the bike (drop it on the right and it's going to be destroyed) and the tail lights are plain silly.

I'm sure I've missed something :)

Oh yes, I don't like the combination of the gorgeous deep maroon with 80s nylon shellsuit metallic blue.
