Dang Miles, were you a pilot in a former life? That instrument panel is well thought out, functional and good looking too!
The fuel tank looks handy too, how much does it hold?
Don't worry about the cleanliness, your bike has a look of intended purposefulness! (Yeah, I looked it up, it is a word and it means useful but in a much cooler way!)

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Sometimes, just for kicks, and when the bike is REALLY dirty, I'll pull into the local Tim Hortons and park among the shiny&buff&doo-ragged Harley gang (known as "Chromosexuals" around here). Some of them act as if my bike has a communicable disease, and their rides will become affected, and they say nasty things to me.:damn angry: But I don't mind. I think it's funny.
No, the faux tank is still very much faux. That "gas cap" on top has a cover that swings out, to allow access to the bolt that hold the tank onto the airbox(via a custom bracket)
The fuel tank holds about 3 litres, gives me a range of about 250-260 k. before the red light (at highway speeds). The tank that I just finished, for use when I have the trunk and bags in place, holds over 5 litres. I should be pushing over 300 k between fillups with that one in use.
Thanks for the new word, Brian. "Purposefulness" I'll try that one out on the Harley folks, next time they're dissing my poor old ride.
Cheers!
