I would do some brass plating on stuff too.

It is a beautiful sight to behold. Particularly the headlamp.

I used Rubber door stoppers and longer bolts. Because I have a custom tank I cut the tank mount off the original tank and used to mount seat. This mod does improve sitting comfort when riding.

Name your white horse Paco,, short for Apocalypse..
PLenty of good white horse pics online you might consider having a decal of made for it. Or, all white is Great, truly striking monochrome approach. Maybe in a few years add a touch or two? So many ways to go with it with a start like that. Enjoy as is till your heart says it needs somethin new..surely in a coupla years youll look at it & "see" some pinstriping or some kinda art on the tank or a small "hood ornament" on the fender.

If you must, add some aesthetically pleasing Suzuki ID. Pinstriping won't help and I feel will compromise the purity of the bike. Be very wary of expressions such as "cool" or "badass".

The only thing that I would do to it would be to ditch the chrome head covers. I like the gnarly old engine look, but that's just me. Your bike is definitely rockin it!

On the work table, is that a T-shaped dual side intake you made for the bike? I say slap an Alabama Crimson Tide decal on each side of the tank and run a crimson racing stripe along both fenders. Now that would be unique in your country.
