Nice.

She's come a long way, baby!

I like what you did with those open ports on the top panels. How about some of that on the radiator cover?

Thanks for all the kind words...The radiator cover does have a few holes covering it but would look better with the mesh behind it....I have been working out a few bugs lately like stopped up fuel filter and now a bad rear brake line.... but what do you except out of a 20 plus year old bike....
