Re side casing, you referring to the crankcase covers? If so there's usually some on ebay as spare parts, and sometimes you'll find someone breaking an old bike for parts. Best way to do it.

Or go hardcore and just spray it all black. B)

Isn't it odd how bikes always look better with all the legal crap thrown out. I take it the back of your jacket is ready for the onslaught.

Love what you have done with it.

I got a set of Bar end ones that i modified to fit where the mirrors should go. Check out black betty in this section (gallery)

As for the badges, yer they are just stuck on and is many was to take them off, the way i did it was to get some fishing line and ran it behind the badge the removed the foam sticky stuff with meth spirits. You could also steal the wife's hair dryer and warm it up first then is will pull off easier.

O and one more thing.....................Get shot of the pillion pegs too.....looks like you wont be needing them :biglaugha:

Totally agree noise, but, don't you think twin headlights would butch the front up a bit. Could mount the indicators in the side of them too.

Then do a repaint but subtle, use black and charcoal or any very very slightly lighter black (that sounded daft) done with a camo pattern then bang on a satin laquer. Be a lot cooler than 'just matt'.

Feel free to ignore, just its nice to see something a little different. I actually saw a harley i liked yesterday, a 50's, (must be something that way) knucklehead with hand shift and foot clutch not all bolt on crap and chrome. Watching the man in traffic, he knew the beastie for sure smooth as you like.
