I like the look of this. Some won't. Especially one in particular. The fairing just seems to gel with the small tank. Comments.http://rocket-garage.blogspot.co.uk/201 ... .html#more

Lots to like, not sure about the tail section extending to the carb, it creates some difficult lines (gap between it and the tank, the flow from it to the fairing)

I like it, but cant understand why number plate is hanging off the side. Seems to be a common way to do it but puts me off every bike I see it on. Would look fine with plate in normal place.

There's more 'Cafe' than 'racer' about that bike. He won't be doing any fast corners with the footpegs in the std position, as Gus has already pointed out.

I like it, could spend hours taking it to bits and putting back together again. 8-)
