Found more stuff on the innerwebs..... looks like I missed a chapter in motorcycle trends. Stuff looks a little too light in the loafers for me.... :grin:

I found one of those Tracy one-piece fiberglass body kits in the dumpster about twenty years ago.  I examined it... seemed okay... slid it back in.

I don't mind it. The USD forks ruin the look. Some 18" gold mags and a spindly 35mm pair of forks with a square headlight would do wonders for this thing looks. Steering dampner is bigger than the bike!

You missed your chance mate, shoulda' put the wheels on the dumpster.
A marked improvement style wise me thinks..
