Stunning bike, love it, just one little detail tho, the front brake lines look wierd just floating there with short mudguard, twin lines from the master cylinder or a splitter on the yoke would look better, Beautiful bike otherwise tho :D
If its not broken, fix it till it is

brian

take the end cap off the exhaust and REALLY stuff it full of glass fibre (mine was only half full) - this will quieten it down a bit.

mine is now just loud rather than deafening.
