Yeah, it's got a really nice patina now.

Lots of great art in here. When I first bought my sporty in 06 I had visions of art for my tank and spent about a year trying to find the right design. Discussed with wife and we agreed it should be something that reflected me. I finally came up with a design of WWI fighters, however I then realized I was doing so much riding that it was likely the art would get scratched up. Some day when I get another bike to tour on I will do upt the sporty like I first envisioned.
In the mean time I settled for art on the side covers, hand painted for me by my aunt. Its the insignia for the 94th Aero Squadron, aka Hat in the Ring squadron.

Cheers, 62. I wanted to keep it simple and hotrod style. Now all I have to do is find a black (or eyeball) flush-fit filler cap.  |

Thanks Ironhead. It's a second hobby that keeps me out of some trouble. Here's a sporty I did for a friend.
