Super Sidecars Favorite Bike: My 06 "60's" Scrambler

Hi everyone, it's a lovely warm sunny spring morning here in Ireland so I've just taken a few pics of my bike. On a limited budget I've tried to give it the look of the 60's TR6C/T120C's which takes me back to my testosterone fuelled days of motorcycling madness. I'm a fully qualified boring old fart now so I ride a bit more gently and sensibly.
So what have I done to it? Started off by fitting a tacho and NB stick on tank stripe, then came the NH classic silencers, then Hagon classic shrouded shocks (They were great at Hagons, they fitted softer springs and despatched the shocks very quickly). Then threw away the 50's jukebox indicators and fitted smaller ones. Finally I am slowly going around the bike getting rid of the low quality plated steel and chrome fasteners and refitting stainless ones.
Several pics below for your appraisal, comments, assessment, delectation or maybe criticism.

Everything looks great! I just did the chrome strip on the tank as well. Bet the pipes sound good.

Lookin' good, sprocket. It was down to the red/white Scrambler or the Bonne Black for me. The Black won out but the wife is talking about selling her Harley so.....
