    Oh *excellent*. What the **** are you going to put it on?

    And can I have it when it won't fit?

    Kontinent Krusher, at a guess: - just in time for Chimay. :)
    It'd look good on the TS.

    It'd look betterer on the Basmati Rice Burner.

    **** yes - if I didn't have the sprog coming along.
    You mis-spelled "unutterably gash".

    Always wanted one. Dustbin-faired bikes were faster than anything else back
    in the '50s, which is why the FIM banned them. I don't know if I'll put it
    on the Kontinent Krusher - I might get something bigger and more of the
    period, and build something like this:

    That'll be an inexplicable surge in the number of people attending
    then, eh?

    Banned them on grounds of taste alone ?

    Don't imagine I haven't thought of scaring up a serviceable T3. What's the
    width across the cylinder heads? I don't want to start hacking it around.

    Using the age old wave tape measure vaguely above the bike: 60cms or ~2'

    I think that's hideous, but if it makes you happy then go for it.[/QUOTE]

    I have good previous for aesthetically questionable conveyances.
    I think it'll be pretty simple - a bit of acrylic with a basic cylindrical
    curve. I don't think the original would have been a double-bubble effort.
