I finally figured out how to use a digital camera. A couple of new pictures for your critique.   Hope you like.

She looks great! I like the old style front plate.

Ok, I just noticed the black buck horns. They look really good. One thing I would have done differently would be to remove the heat shields form the pipes prior to wrapping them.

Probabaly will next year, I didn't coat them with anything and the black is fading rapidly to a gray and getting tattered near the kick stand.

I love the front license plate. Did you make that yourself or buy it from somewhere.

Made it myself and what a chore. Black plexiglas, masked and bead blasted to get a depth or relief, but not as deep as I would have liked. Then washed and painted with silver reflective paint, some of which got under the rubber mask. Not as clean as I wanted. The mounts were made by a retired machinist I know.

Looks good, I always wondered how a plate would look on our front fenders. Have you thought about black risers to match the bars?

Thought about it, but there is a definite lack of funds for parts and upgrades according to my financial advisor... for the time being anyway. Needs rear lights, front tire, classic badges etc.,etc..

Years ago I had a plate like that with 773440. The 4s were the open top font. Incase I turned it up side down.

Was thinking of "04 TA" but that might be open to misinterpretation.
