Both bikes really "compliment" each other, however, the old one certainly makes that "cheezy" seam on the new one's tank stand out! When's Triumph going to wake up and quit making their cheezy "seamed" tanks! :hammer:

a lot of bondo can make the tank seam go away. I'd wait unti the tank need repainted. Those seam are a dead give away. You do not see them on HDs but look at any Japan bike and there is the cheap seam. I try to ignore the one on my Yamaha.

Happy to say I had a very small part in that picture, I provided the original style mufflers.

I LOVE those old/new shots!
