11. Down the other side.
  
12. Shot through the wheel showing the brakes.

13. The engine turned dash is nice, and there is a full compliment of gauges.
  
14. The checkers are a bit much for me.

15. Nice shot of the rear suspension and gas tank.
  
16. I like the clean cutout for the oil cooler.

17. Not much trunk space.
