I was surprised too. And look at the prices! I still have my Craven top box (called a Snowdon now) from my first bike, 40+ years ago. Just put it on the Tiger.

add some luminescent paint to the light green and at night you will be VERY visible  :bug_eye

hmmm.....  another thought.   See if your guy can draw it up with the dark almost looking like Tiger stripes.  Ending up with a true Camouflage Tiger

I would go all the way and do the rims and spokes all black. The camo works great on this chassis.
I may not be big, but I'm slow.

Thats a good point, are you going back to spokes Rybes or sticking with 3 spoke casts?
