Rhory had a similar issue with the gap between the link-pipe and inlet. He used some carefully cut coke cans to fill the gap and it worked a treat.

bike looks great, rim tapes works on black wheels any other and it looks gash, HRC sticker works well too

although i do think that can is a lil long, it almost longer than the seat unit, and iff you do decide to chop it cut it from the bottom end that way you wont looks the jap badge off the end and if u measure right the can stap could cover up the discolouration bit

is that ur sheene rep 750? from wat u can see in the background it loooks mint

Looking good. Straightening the can was a good move, but I agree with Spike on the length. Personally I'd be tempted to chop off an inch or so.
Loving the paint too, the satin look is sweet!

Fair enough, 'cause there's no going back once you chop it!
