My grandfather was a commercial artist for Jones Box and Label here in London. Among his designs were the Schneider's Meats girl with the pigtails (still in use), Labatts Brewing, and old Campbell soup labels. I never saw it but my dad said he would do all the lettering for the labels freehand at twice actual size, and it was amazing to watch him work.
And he didn't smoke dope. Grin

I think I figured out how to handle the crankcase breather. I found a corrosion-resistant industrial breather.

The inside diameter is a perfect match for the outside diameter of the stock breather tube. I epoxied the breather to the tube and then tidied it up with some heat shrink.

I positioned it so that whatever happens to blow past the breather filter has a good chance of being sucked toward the air filter, which will be oiled anyway.

where did you find this at? any leads would be rad
thanks!

The shortened throttle and clutch cables arrived today from MotionPro. Since the speedometer cable supplied by Ryca was way too long for my tastes, I had MotionPro make up a new one -- longer than stock, shorter than Ryca. I had them leave off the decorative spring.

I'm going to pick up the bodywork tomorrow. Guess what I'll be doing this weekend. Or sooner.

Motobuddha that looks sweet, I hope that exhaust is angled out at least 10 degrees.. else you're gonna have some black parts back there... anyways, better throw that titanium wrap I sent on their somewhere.. gonna add a cosmetic badboy edge to it.. which is just over kill already.. nothing wrong with overkill on the badboy edge though Cheesy
