Put on a Tony D front guard & a period rear & perhaps lose the side number plates & it would look the goods :)

No need to apologise to me Dave, it's not my bike ::). To my eyes one of the worst aspects of Eric Cheneys work has been his tank designs. Throughout the history of the marque, beautiful bikes have been spoiled by the fugly tanks old Eric fitted to 'em. I'm with Smed here, get rid of those shit awful modern 'guards, fit a set of translucent white Tony D Preston Petty's donate the tank to your Maico or CZ mates and fit a YZC/X 125 tank and you'd have a thing of beauty.
