I agree with most, the seat looks nice. The bag's thread design gives me the impression of it being messy. (too much detail on the flap). But hey, just my opinion.

You know I love the seat. I copied yours. I like the bag also but think I would have the piping redone in black. Just a little to much white, but still lokks great.

I would go black piping on everything and black tires and grips also but I like the stitching on the seat and bag and the seat design as it is. Never liked wide whites on cars or bikes.

That looks awesome. ready to copy you again. I am new to this kind of stuff.But You just took off the aircleaner cover and I guess I will see what you needed to paint when I take mine off. It looks great. You get to see more of the engin.
BTW: I love the big whitewalls and plan on getting a set when I go through my existing tires.

That paint doesn't diminish filtering capacity and/or airflow?
