That photoshop looks like it has potential, but yeah getting ridding of that radiator will be a problem, because it looks shocking with it.

The radiator is on the far side of the bike behind the rear wheel. It's being used as a side mount lic plate holder.

It may be possible, using advanced image manipulation and enhancement techniques, to insert certain key elements that were overlooked during actual Thunderbird design and production... Some time honored British character would be a good place to start

Now, come on Leno. That baby has some "time honored British character", alright. Well, that AND some o' that "time honored American Hot Rod/Bobber character" mixed into it too, of course. Don't be so darn hard on these T-Birds, dude. Just because(and just LIKE the BAs and the Speedies) they don't totally resemble a STOCK 1968 US-specs Bonneville, LET ALONE a UK-specs Bonneville of that era, doesn't mean that they don't have any "time honored British character", my friend! (you see, all the T-Bird really needs is those FRIGGIN' FINS AROUND THOSE FRIGGIN' CYLINDER BARRELS, and it would've looked near perfect...but maybe I've mentioned THAT around here "a few" times before already, huh?!)  
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Looks sweet... back is bobbed a little too much for me, but sweet non the less. Can't wait until they've been out for a couple of years and REAL bobbers and customs start showing up.
