            Looks good.
            See your side cover and other tanks in the background. I like the idea of using a painter that is familiar with bike bodywork.

                The painter is https://www.bdscycles.com/. Bryan does great work and isn't too expensive.

                    Nice. I've seen bds jobs on FB, and it looks like he does great work.

                                                Tonight was the first shakedown ride after getting the bike painted and back on the road. Ran like a molested primate. Still need to weld on some brackets to attach the side panels...

                                                        Background scenery is okay too i guess.

                                                        Is the thermostat inboard enough you don't foul it with your right knee?
