Very imaginative. This is the very reason I love this Cafe' thread. Ideas like this show the engineering ideas of those who love motorcycles, and have the mechanical skills to build from scratch good looding parts.
This is just up the Jazzmans alley. The finning is beyond duel. :-D

I`ve been down that road before,thanks. Spent every night for two weeks sanding coat after coat of Arctic white and Gaurds red graphics,virtually BURIED in red and silver pearl..Breathtaking depth,hand pinstriped GS1100.On the maiden voyage to the local Friday cruise night,I was outfitted to kill [the ladies],the Vance & Hines 4 into 1 open meg was screamin and I hit the neon lit streets.Checked my bad self in the first store front window and dang near died when I saw the BRIGHTEST,PINKEST Mary Kay Suzuki that was ever built. I was embarressed to death,but darn near every chick on the loop wanted a ride.Never had any color bike,but black, since that Friday night. :-D

Steve, this could be very cool - can you devise some type of lighting system that hides behind the fins and shows through the vents? JCW

Wow, that's the most imaginitive thing I've ever seen. Ill be looking at kids' TV sets with a whole new eye.

If you hadn't shown me where it came from, I might have offered you as much as $100 for that cowl. :wink:
