Welcome aboard, Jackal!!
So what are your future plans for the bike? Anything on your mind that you'd really like to do to it?

I have got back into biking a couple of years ago after a 15 year break, but have been riding since I was five. Used to do grass track as a kid.
Future plans for the bike:
Refurb Wheels.
R6 Tail Conversion.
Custom Headlamp Fairing and Road Legal Headlamp, i fancy some type of skull fairing.
High Rise Exhaust.
Braided Brake and Oil Hoses.
Radiator and Oil Cooler Covers.
Full Respray in.. Haven’t decided yet, probably dark grey with silver fleck.

That's a cool mod list, Jackal. I'd be interested to see a modern tail on her... I think that would look cool.
I was wondering about the headlight on her, too. It looks like it's pointed awfully low.
