    Very nice Drifter, I've not seen one in those colours before but I hope you don't mind me saying that the mudguards look a bit big?

    Nice bike - is that Goodwood Green? Agree with the biglad that the mudguards look big.
    Bob it! - it would look amazing and you would have a unique bike, not just one that was "slightly" altered by a few bolt on parts.

    I think if it was my bike I would remove the front and rear 'guards and keep them safely wrapped up somewhere and replace them with much smaller matt black ones of a Scrambler.

    Here's a idea, get yourself a couple of tins of Frost wrap and vinyl wrap your original guards in matt black, so you can judge the look without having to buy any new ones first? The Matt black wrap will protect the Original paint as well.

    Yo Drifter, Bob it, guards will always spoil the appearance somehow. Sell and use funds to proceed Welcome aboard :D

    Right guys after much much thought and my partners input i have decided not to Bob it i sat in the Garage last night looking it over and it came to my mind that its a nice bike okay yes maybe shorter mudguards and i need to tidy a few things up on it but keep it as close to its original look as possible but add my own individuality to it .Thanks for suggestions .Now dont all shout at once hee hee !!!!!

    Good choice! You're right, it's a nice looking bike as it is now. Like you say, by all means add a few bits to make it yours.
