Actually, I am not so sure you do. Yours has such a unique look, that it
stands on it's own. The ones that I think look bad are the ones with either
big boxy batteries sticking out under the frame, or built with a big box
tucked in between the riders knees. The lines on the bike were all
originally curved and flowed and the abrupt boxy shapes just ruin
everything. Even though you have some right angles in your setup, it looks
good as part of the whole.
Of course, if you have the ability to fabricate some nice body panels it
probably would look even better, and with as low of lines as your bike
already has you could probably end up with pretty decent aerodynamics that
would improve your high speed efficiency.

Very nice. Some of you guys really work hard and get everything buttoned

so well. I remember when I first started building my bike and looked at
the
limited selection of EMs on the Ev photo album. There were some real
monster listed... still are. For a while I thought mine looked all right
compared to those, but now I'm almost embarrassed to be out riding it
around. If it weren't so much fun I might quit altogether :-) Oh well,
at
well over 3000 electric miles I think I still have some bragging rights.
