With a little bit more effort the side panels could more closely follow the line of the seat and tank.

well, I love my Scrambler 1200 - but there is something about it that makes it look worse than the std bike. As above it is probably the cobbled together side panels ....

Overall, I like the look, but I personally prefer a high level exhaust on a Scrambler.
A set of shotgun pipes would set it off.

I like it a lot - there's some nice details there - but I'd like to see a period front brake caliper and as people have said the exhaust is so wrong and should be high level - or at least like a Harley XR flat tracker

I'm not fussed on the looks of scramblers,but I really love the colour.
