    It's been done before, a 250 virago is a good candidate for it.

    She cleaned up quite nicely.

    All the replacement parts needed I had on hand from the previous project. The only thing I didn't replace were the bars, I just adjusted them to no long hit the tank.

    Matte black everywhere, it takes forever to clean off...gave up to preserve my sanity.

    Top to bottom service and running rather well.

    Does anyone have any idea how to clean off those classy paintbrushed whitewalls?

    To clean, start with a brush with kero. It won't harm the rubber as long as you don't leave it on for ages. Then use your normal soapy stuff to clean up, or if you have to use dishwash liquid...

    The other approach is tyre paint to cover the white paint...

    The first concept of the air filter pods.
    For the moment I am planning to keep the original airbox, these will just bolt on either side replacing the current ones

    A bit uninspired and boring, but you have to start somewhere

    Hit a small snag with paperwork, so I've been killing time while getting it sorted.

    More design ideas, some old, some new, but mostly done for a bit of fun.

    +1 to Eddie, assuming you buy the theory visibility is about being a perceived threat, that should have your SMIDSY driver run to the hills.
