A beauty!:clapping:
Sean, I`ll see what the mini-mudguard does for me first
But now we`re at it, the front-end upgrade Firemedic proposes, would it be prohibitively expensive? Or do you recommend USD mod in stead? Apart from aesthetics, what would you say is best handling-wise?

USD does give a benefit but not as much as you'd think compared to just setting up the front end with good springs and fluid (and the radials).
Yeah, but if I upgrade the front-end anyway, do I go for a +93 setup with all the whistles and bells like in Firemedic`s post, or USD?
I still have the early front end on my 85 and could install about anything I wanted but haven't.
Springs and fluid and maybe the adjustable tensioners we have.

It's a beauty...If it were me I'd focus next on the swing arm & pumpkin...
Well, I got home this weekend and mounted them "correctly," but honestly I like it even less...get in the way of the scoops...
So took `m off again, also took of front radiator cover to check, but the grille seems to do a good job, very little damage or debris clogging the heat exchanger fins...
And finally decided to bend the side covers and make them "fold around"
So, thanks to your remark I`m now 100% OK with the looks :eusa_dance:

I am officially in love with that tail! Is the pillion actually functional?
Sooooooooooo....This is the result:
And yes, shortening the tail and removing the "brick" taillight does seem to make me see things in a different light; ideal compromise between "more modern" and "keep the typical vmax look"
Will probably leave it like this
Still needs paint of course, but will ride it now first
Some more pics in Album "reborn phase 7"

I have the same one too. Yes it is functional this was the main reason for my purchase.

Nice, I really lijke the color scheme.
When I was shortening my tail I went a bit further (probably too far) then one day when I had a passenger on the back the tyre made contact and sucked everything up underneath
After that I moved the taillight up out of the way
wow there's a lot of cool looking bikes in this threat.
