        Looks good.
        See your side cover and other tanks in the background. I like the idea of using a painter that is familiar with bike bodywork.

          The painter is https://www.bdscycles.com/. Bryan does great work and isn't too expensive.

                          Tonight was the first shakedown ride after getting the bike painted and back on the road. Ran like a molested primate. Still need to weld on some brackets to attach the side panels...

                              Nice!
                              Background scenery is okay too i guess.

                              Is the thermostat inboard enough you don't foul it with your right knee?
