Wonderful job!
You should very proud - I hope you enjoyed restoring it!
FWIW you can sometimes pick up chrome 'dimples' for the fork crown on eBay, same for red bar end plugs which look nice (and OE)
Finally, you should get some better 'finished' pics done - well worth it when you've beaten it up all over again!

Outstanding effort. Not done for money, or to follow the crowd, but for the simple satisfaction of it - the best reason ever.
How about internally modifying the lamps to accomodate modern LED lamps behind the orignal lenses - saves weight, battery life and somethin' a bit different. With a bit of rewiring you could even get them to work on the original switches.

I never like the Bomber, quit possibly out of sour grapes as by the time they were launched I was too big to ride one already, but that is a mighty fine resto job. cracking effort.
