Just looking at the right hand side where you have taken off the pillion pegs i think it needs something; i'd perhaps go with the black tribal solo finishers, having said that the bike looks great...

I'm over the wild stuff, it all looks the same. I like a bike where every time I look at it I see something I had'nt noticed...and you could ride it a reasonable distance. It makes me want to put wire wheels on my speedy

Very nice job on the tank and exhaust. Have you got a close up of that customized sprocket cover?

I agree about the tank, but I want the front and rear fenders. Where in Finland are you? I have spent a lot of time in Turku, some in Helsinki, and have been to Tampere and as far north as Kuopio. On my web site (www.johndarrin.com) there is a picture of me sailing in the archipelago while sipping a Lapin Kulta. I look forward to getting back soon. He was fun while he lasted.

Is that tape on the headers or flat paint. The pipes have gloss and the tips are flat again? It's hard to tell without a close up. Thanks. Doesn't everybody's life revolve around food?

For example there is eight different matters about tip-word in finnish. And when i look word "header" from a dictionary i didn understand what part you mean? Jar66

The exhaust tip is the very end of the muffler. Hope this helps.
