final gel to put the final shape on the lines and sides . . . these old gals can use all the fairing they can get. This line was in my head all along, its an un unabstructed line that traveles all the way around the boat unbroken and its actally the bustle that ties it together.

Its actually very cool and fun to drive, i bought it to sell im not much of a bike guy but this thing was just to cool not to own for a little bit HotRod mag did a six page spread on it. Things a blast im doing some fine tuning and minor suspension adjustments and then she's for sale . . . . cheaper then ya think
