Lurker here, showing you my '84 1200 this forum inspired.
Last July, I got a good deal on this '84 Interstate with around 40k miles.
I spent the winter working on it.
Thanks for letting me lurk and learn from your knowledge! If there is anything in particular that is interesting, I have some progress pictures I can dig up.

We have a before and after, how did you reshape the shelter? They're originally shaped to fit the fairing on the 84 right?

Robin, we're picture sluts, not whores.lol Imgreco: We don't get paid. Nice job. Many would be interested in how you fixed the scoops/cut-outs in the faux tank.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

I have pictures of my tank shelter process, but I need to pull them from various sources. I'll make a post with them soon.
Thanks for all the positive feedback!
