I vote for chopping the cam cover and blacking out the primary cover.
The bike looks sick...

For some inexplicable reason, the first thing I thought when I looked was, "it looks like a puppy". Don't get me wrong, I like what I see in the color and in the rear fender, but for some reason the tank looks too big for the bike - kind of like big paws on a puppy that they'll grow in to. No flame intended - that was my honest initial reaction. Maybe 'cause the seat's not on yet?

I like it. Post some more pics when you get a seat on so we can get the whole effect. Nice color too.
