Beak fitted
« on: May 23, 2016, 19:59:53 »
Hi all. Just a couple of pics after fitting 'the beak' today. Relatively easy to do except squeaky bum time taking the body coloured panel around headlights off! I think it looks great - what do you all think?

I think it looks nice but it would be even better if the photos were correctly orientated  :grin:

I think it looks like a cock on a Nun (and just as useful).

But, as long as you like it that's all that matters  :thumb:

I must have to admit that at first when I bought my bike I wasn't too sure about the beak,  but I liked the wire wheels. Now grown to like it  :)
