Looking good Rick. One thing though....that passenger grab handle at the front won't pass tech. Should be a closed loop, or at the vary least have a ball end.

That's not a grab rail..it's a fairing mount....

It's a front exit bike Rick, never seen a picture of one where that area wasn't used as a passenger handhold of some kind. Is there a plug on the fairing that goes into the end of it?

Looks like a Laze-boy arm chair with drinks holder to me. At least thats how I used to treat Jean Guys sidecar when I was his passenger. But its ok ,cuz he did it first!!!
Well done Rick for bringing another rig out, your life will never be the same, I used to wear a shit eating grin for the ten yrs or so that I passengered , not only during race season but during this shitty time of the yr too!!!!!!!
But I do come from the land of the rising damp

Looking great Rick. One thing though, you should extend the wheel arch at the front, at least up to the top centre line. The exposed tire at the front is a danger to your passenger.
