Looking sharp  :daumenhoch:  :4_17_5:

Couple of things I'd change, drop the layback as it just doesn't look right and move the brake levers down a touch but other than that  :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:  :4_17_5:


Better to crash and burn than fade away

That looks reeeeeally trick mate.. love it!!!

Only thing I would say is that if its a 1979 then you should use the earlier decals.. just being picky there though!!!
