    Thanx Wiz! That's exactly what I was looking for. Great pic too, I was thinking of stripping off the fairing, now I have images of inspiration side-by-side for direct comparison!

    It's like showing-off pictures of your Grandchildren.
    Even better when they're ... Twins!

    I think one of the most interesting "Restorations" happened.
    We got to watch.
    That the endeavor was not publicized by any of the Motorcycling Press ... along with a Sidebar of some other magnificent projects completed by our Members, during that time is a travesty.

    We got some good people who deserve being known-about in the Worldwide Motorcycle Community.

    But, you have to carry a basket full of oily, old parts out from the deepest, darkest corner of the world, across an alligator infested swamp before wiping it off and finding-out it's in perfect condition. It's the only one left in the world and you survived wading through a school of starving Red-bellied Piranha to secure the part needed for your 1903 1.75 h.p. Humber.

    Dude!! Those are exactly how I was thinking of doing mine up. So wiz if I do my bike sort of like that don't get mad ill try not to copy you too bad lol :p

    I like the look of the round headlight/no handlebar mounted fairing but was concerned about all the electronics/various stuff that may stick out. It looks good in the pic but can anyone with this style tell me if it looks cluttered when you get close? If not I think that might be the direction I will go in.

    Very nice resto's.

    One thing I was a little disappointed in is the color of Casa de Wiz. I expected it to be blue!

    Question Wiz: How many bikes do you currently own and what are they?

    Nice bikes, love the naked look on the rear one. Had a chance to buy a fairing equipped one recently but already have a Honda under construction.

    Now i know what the tags are on the front of the tank, they take rubber grommets? for small covers. Are they a standard thing, i've just never seen them on any XJ's before.
