    Cracking looking bike with some very nice touches. I really like the paint job - very understated and draws the eye in to the detail of the rest of the bike.

    However, for my personal taste, removing the rear shocks and going monoshock always gives me the impression that the back end is going to fall off. Must be something my adled brain can't comprehend.

    Like my son keeps telling me - I must start thinking more up to date

                                You've come a long way Dude! I like the inner rear fender idea. Have you or anyone else considered fabricating a cowl to cover the air filters?
                                I like the idea of keeping the rain out and off, that would also lead to maximum wheel fenders, I hate the way rain messes up a bike with sand and dirt.
                                I'm sure that's why you added a house to your bike.
