Do I see an Ossa lurking in the far left of that picture? Rare beasties these days!
Where in the world are you sliderman? I like the look of the fairing on the TRX, had thought of going the Duke 900SS fairing route look one day myself.

That round head light works much better than the original, and the bar end mirrors give a clear unobstructed view, I was quite surprised how well they work. Will Post some better pics of the rest of the bike soon.
