My first dustbin front was pretty ugly , particular after I was forced to chop a larger opening in the front for better cooling. Still it worked pretty well ( second overall at the 2012 Vetter Mid-Ohio Challenge). This picture was from the return trip back to CA at a rest stop in CO.
While I can appreciate the beauty of great paint and a clean and shiny finish, I also like the look of well-used vehicles that actually are ridden. Just like on people some scars are emblems of character.
