        I like the white can myself, but also like the brushed aluminum. The aluminum look would probably stay nice looking easier though.

            Sweet Bike! I can only imagine how much time and $$$ you have in it. I voted to keep it all black.

            What's the purpose of the bracket that appears to go from rear axle to rear axle under the swing arm and exhaust? It looks like it is part of the swing arm.

                Except when used as an 'A' sound such as 'neighbor' or 'weight'

                I mocked up a pic of what I think should be done.

                      Thanks for the info Did a quick check on Google and came up with a quick reason why.

                      The unique bracing under the swingarm gave strength to the rear of the arm that was no longer supplied by dual rear shocks.

                        They are also installed to provide increased stiffness on bikes with dual shocks installed.

                          I say go for a nice cover/shroud to match the rest of the bike. You can buy all kinds of off-the shelf pieces that could be modified for your application. You could also easily change the shroud color. I found this pic doing a google image search...

                            Go for black. And while you're at it - remove the hugger and the bellypan. Would make the bike a lot cleaner I think.
