Complex was great when I was younger, simple is my choice as I’ve aged. Looks good as it is.
Thanks MF. Yeah, I had some ideas for some add-ons, accoutrements, gee gaw, whatever you want to call it. But after following those thoughts, I ended up where I started; back to the basic bike as it sits. It's very solid as a rider, and as clean looking as a 'bandit' can get, I imagine.
I do have one other idea I want to pursue, but it wouldn't be a permanent 'fix' on the bike as it is built right now.
Looks right at home out there. Gorgeous country

Looks great!
It may just be my personal take (and a minor one), but it looks like the chainring is turned around. Not sure if there is a right or wrong way though.

Yeah, we are just a 1/2 mile from where I took this photo. I will miss being this close to the edge of the desert wilderness. But our new place is close to another trails area, about 3.5 miles. But I'll miss our old friend, Red.Looks right at home out there. Gorgeous country
But if it was turned around, wouldn't I only be able to go in reverse?
I think I have the 'flatter' side facing inward, so I assumed that was correct.

I have a ‘47 ladies Roadmaster with a similar chainring. The openings are reversed for reference.But if it was turned around, wouldn't I only be able to go in reverse?
