The individual components look nice, but when put together it doesn't balance out.

That bike literally screams for a Rickman fairing, and some clip-ons. The high handlebars and generic headlite ears, just don't cut it. Love the Fontana 4LS, but his price tag on that seems a bit high. I put a brand new 9" 4LS Grimeca on my 73 Duc for about a fifth of what he's talking. Nontheless, cool bike with lots of potential. Be interesting to see what it goes for. Cheers.

A few nice ideas on that one and realy nice finish, probably to nice to use. If it was mine I would have done a few things differently:
The front fender and the handle bars looks wrong,and with the amount ofmoney put into it there should bee an electronic ignition.
