Aww yes mate. 100% behind your choices there. It is looking so much better now.
Do you ever think though that you're butchering a classic?
I'm not saying it's okay with my bike, but mine got nicked and was nearly written off. So a change was inevitable. But yours looks rather original there.

it's an interesting twist the butchering aspect , I remember back in the good old days ( ok never mind the age jokes I will slap your legs !! I am not that old at 22 and a little bit ) the same argument about people butchering old british twins and the like , but nine times out of ten it was being done to bikes that the race rep go faster boys had smashed up and could not put back to go faster trim so did Easy rider /street fighter things with them , but what they did they was they managed to put bikes back on the road that were heading for the scrap bin , and the fact that they were heading for the bin made it financially viable to do the easy rider /Street fighter thing , and now many years later what has happened is many of the bikes they did have fallen by the way side as often the frames were not up to the job the heart of the project the engine has been bought by the classic brigade and used to bring classic bikes back from the almost dead back to life , so it would appear to me that as long as they don't end up in the scrap bin don't worry too much everything has it's day and what goes around comes around , the moral being never throw things in the scrap bin if it is at all repairable just put it at the back of the shed and wait for its day to come back round , it will given time just give it a good wrapping to make sure it does not deteriorate and stick a label on it so you know when you get to the age some think I am you will know what it is , what do you mean is this the voice of experience ?? NO I am far too young to be that wise , lol
Cal Shhhhh
