Looks cleaner the way it is, so stop looking at old pictures when the bike is completed.

As usual you are right Jean... I should work on my older project (started before my accident) and side-lined by the Commando...

Outstanding job, love the ss pipes and I generally don't like colored frames on bigger bikes, but you pulled it off with that green, Only two things I'd change it taking the heat shield off and either removing the side cover stripe or straighten it. How did surgery turn out for you if I may ask; I'm guessing well?
