Yeh,

I think the VR is a great looking bike too, except for the black guards. Look better w white guards & even silver frame. Have seen one w yellow guards which looked nice to, esp if one of the stripes on the tank is yellow
Hmmm, I quite like the black gaurds 8).



Maybe not a standout but at least different from every other bugger with white gaurds, and not just Monties :). I would imagine they would fade and look crap pretty quickly.

But both are a sweet looking bike. They look 'right', proportional.

Is this the neatest fuel tap/fuel line set up you have ever seen :o 8) ;) - in appearance and practicality.
Is that Rickman OEM? Anyone know?
My 1960s vintage lawnmower had the same fuel tap and yes it looks neat but did leak and stick a bit.
