Finally installed the vintage Marchal headlights. Kinda creepy-looking in a good way.

That is pretty cool.  Kind of reminds me a low slung Speed Triple (and yes, I know Triumph copied a vintage design and not the other way around  ;) ).

That is awesome. What wheels are those? I only ask because when I have an extra g or two laying around I'd like to own some. Also are those Kawasaki rotors?

I had a set of Marcals back in the 70's. No better lamps, great lenses.

Super cool.  Black and Yellow go so well together.  Interesting setup with the fairing, that they're not integrated at all.  Cool look though, very unique.  Got any pics of the bike head-on?

Nice bike altogether in fact.  I like your rear-sets.
