    Very nice and what we've come to expect from you Zipper, I like your design and hope you make it wider than the Ural, has it enough foot room ? Really like the slopping front.DB

    Yep! Some very good aerodynamics, so often left off of home builds, and some great clean lines that pick up off the bike's lines. Going to be a real looker, no doubt about it.

    Mine will also get flat aluminum sheet for bodywork and hoping the shape I've drawn out makes up for not having nicely rounded contours of a hammered shape. I'm also stumbling over paint because I really like the look of the aluminum like yours but don't want to detract from the whole 'Look' of the finished rig, we'll see I guess....
