Here are some photos of the finished product. I'm going to get more photos next to a 749 just for the fun of it but for now this is what I have.
This project has been one mess after another. From a failed attempt at having the signal housings water dipped in carbon fiber to my nephew wadding this thing up about a month and a half ago. I had to redo nearly all the paint, replaced the front end, and buy new mirrors and grips. I just got done sanding and polishing the clear today. It came out good and I'm happy with it.
Just like the Targa I just finished with recently, the first place I went with it today someone stopped and talked to me about it for a while. People are curious about little bikes I'm finding. Make them look "not so dorky" and people are all in. I'd love to address the signals again given my first attempt didn't work out. They are just waay too big.
Anyway, here are the glamour shots.
I've got another being built right now also. I'm redoing a 1984 Spree Iowa. You can see that one here.

...frustrating to have to fix up previous ham-fisted attempts. Persistance pays - nice work there two4one, it looks factory fresh now!

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've had the opportunity to run this thing around since last week and it's comical to leave it sit in a parking lot or wherever and then watch from a distance those who take an extra look or just flat out stare. Men, women, kids...you name it they look.
I'm waiting on fresh rings for the white Iowa I'm working on. Should be rolling sometime soon but that's what I said about this one.
