Looks sick. I'd be interested to see how you go about raking the front end in real life.

KR,

Looks real clean!

It's your bike, but you ask for input...

I would-
get ride of the headlight hood, or mod it somehow
Not sure about the chin spoiler
Do you have a fork brace?
Flush mount gas cap would really clean up the tank
Unless you are set on all shades of black, a little red highlighting would really pop

and here's some insight on the process.
i've designed the chin spoiler and the derby cover in solidworks, rendered it and added to the mix.
the derby cover design is in fact the real technical thing with a different design. so there's not much of a problem for me producing that in real life. the chin spoiler is a pain because it has the corner radius's and either you fabricate it in fiberglass or mill it out of billet aluminium (which is insanely time and money consuming)

blacking out the screws is just plain easy. just heat gun and some paint. dip the screw (from the head side) to the paint, point'em to the heat gun and you're done. for primary and derby cover, unscrew and paint one at a time so you don't have to disassemble and assemble things.

chopping the rear fender: that's ok.

modifying the seat will be hard as i know exactly nothing on how it can be done. will seek some pro help on this.

will have to fabricate some drag bars.

that g3 on the front forks is just a fantasy. too hard to get it there in real life. so i'm passing this.

ignition relocation, rewiring and etc : you know it pretty well.

and that's pretty much about it for now.

i think this may take a pretty time to get done.

you're definetly right about the headlight hood. it just doesn't fit the bike well enough. must be something more oldschool or retro future.

yep will fabricate a fork brace.

and yes, i thought about red a lot (as they're my main colors in life, black, white and red). but i can't seem to put it anywhere on the bike. if you have a specific part or shape in my just let me know. i'll try my best.

For Red, the outside edge of each spoke is one idea, with/without a thin pinstripe along the outermost part of the rim.

Possibly red plug wires.
