    Agree with Wayne - not for everyone but a lot of work gone into it. (Personally I think it's bloody awful).
    Also, why use the stock Trident front mudguard after going to all that trouble? They've even left the hole where the fender extender was removed.

    I don't mind the styling, after all that can be modified - it really depends on what value the owner thinks it has. Unfortunately some peeps who modify bikes and have invested a lot of themselves into it have an unrealistic view of market value.

    What's the owner asking for it Waye?

    That doesn't sound tooooooooooooo stupid, and open to a discussion. Assuming it's a good runner of course.

    Nah Steve, that's where the rubber grommet goes that originally would have held the brake hose. It's been left off as to replace it you have to split the caliper and hose !

    Found an old pic of mine - it's where the speedo cable was held in place!

    Heh, I don't like it either but the bike in the OP is not unlike my 1200. Same 'silencers' too.

    There's bits about it I like but generally it's awful imv.
    There's been a fair bit of work put into it but it just doesn't gel.
