Very nice!
Plus I really love the crow sound effect. It really adds some eerieness to the video. :laugh: It's all Wizard of Oz and that's the Tin Woodsman's bike!
Any plans for the transmission breather? It's pretty easy to tap it for pipe thread. You could use some thin wall copper pipe then to run a line down to empty under the bike. It's mostly steam and tiny bit of oil mist. If you polished the copper it might look cool.
I have a few extra covers if you want to try it. The 550's are the same size.
