Nice Tri.....
Other than the boots (WTF considering they went with flat slides they didn't replace the intake boots) seems mostly cosmetic.

Possibly I missed it but if this a fairly decent running bike..."lot of work"... naw, piece of cake.

Always nice when you pick up bike with nice parts on it and evidence of some PO spending a lot of time and effort on it.

A good painter could probably closely match that missing sidepanel, looks too nice to respray. Custom paint is always unique - even the original artist couldn't do exactly the same thing twice even if they tried.
