It's a real tough lookin' street fighter, Dude. If I wanted a street fighter and I had yours, I wouldn't change the look at all. I might add a tach to match the speedo, sorta balance the "dash" a little. But it's fine the way it is.

I dont like rear sets because I actualy like being cramped up in a ball so to speak when riding because i feal more in control of the bike that way and I have tried rear sets n my friends and I just find it wasnt for me and as for 2 skiny on headlight brackets no I am sorry I jyst meashured the distance between headlight ears and factored in the width of the light and spun the bungs on the lathe and for the litle up/down part its just some aluminium stock I had lying around I just eyed it so it looked cool if you need help let me know

Don't paint it! It looks "real" now - not like a store bought piece of man jewelry...!

They wouldn't let me get away with that license plate mount around here. Had to fabricate a steel one.
Only thing I would suggest is removing that front fender. I hate front fenders. Outside of that, that bike is serious looking. A no frills vibe. I like it.
