Both good ideas Jack though I'm unsure if I'll put a cowl on if I did that I'd likely cut a slot and Louvre the tank on front and both sides to project light out of that . Vespa one is pretty cool though my taste would lean more to some ape hangers with all the controls and mirrors etc or early bsa or Indian .
Saves a bit of still some what probably maybe not usable stuff Paul so I say why bin it give it a new life.
Not a bad idea Trev I have some brass threaded rod I could use in the blade mount holes to hold it up would look pretty flash polished topped with brass dome nuts
