Hey all. I just finished the final touches to NaTalies Rehab. We are both ready for her reveal to you to all.

I have decided that the method for this reveal is a video montage showing Natalie's ill-fated day and her rebirth as DIVA!!!

Without any further Ado. Meet Diva!!
!

Thanks. I took the last pictures earlier today.

The truth is it was a matter of timing. Those mid-cowl pieces came from the same bike. I knew the MSRP of these. The seller’s price was reasonable in comparison. I got both sides for 2/3 the price of a replacement silver one from the dealer. Besides DIVA has a Salvage Title now. Not much of a point to spend an astronomical amount of money to put this bike back into its previous life. Thus my reasoning going the route that I did.

Like any Diva, she is BRILLIANT!
Thank you sir. I did give you a special thanks in the video. I only wish the stickers you sent me showed up to be feature in these images.

Don’t know if you noticed. I updated my signature and my avatar this evening

Bruce, I confess that I hadn't noticed that you updated your signature and avatar. I guess I need to update my avatar to include Horse. I'm hoping to get a picture of me and Horse together when I do an MSTA ride on Friday. Again, thanks for the "thanks" in your video.

holly molly gracamolly , that is an awesome transformation ... Diva :devilish: looks awesome...

One thing, now you have enough mounting points for highway pegs ;)

By the way, not sure if you knwo that the Robot Girl pic you have been using is from a beloved anime series called: My Life as a Teenage Robot
Thank you so much. You were my most patient follower through this all.

Yes, I know Jenny Wakeman (XJ-9) quite well. My boys grew up watching Cartoon Network. She was my inspiration for this project. Another Cartoon Network show, Megus XLR was the namesake for my XL600R project.

G1 Transformer fan since 1984. I also liked that show Avtar. It was actually a progressive story with chapters, not random episodes.



I now can identify with either Wheeljack or Grapple. As a kid, we all wanted to be Optimus Prime.

Transformation is the right word. Much different from the original off the showroom floor.
You made it happen quickly for sure. Glad the stator cover is back in use.
Enjoy your "new" ride.

Thank you, sir. You were that first step on that 1,000-mile journey. I gave you recognition where it was due in that video.

I told you and everyone that I was headed in a different route on this rehab.

Wow, I couldn't have been more wrong about the "bad-dude" look or poking fun at the HOG.

Seeing the end result, this vehicle aesthetic is something I find incredibly...Honda.

It goes to show you that a Honda, especially this Honda has a sinister side. Who know that it only took a few flames and other assorted decals to do it. ;)

I am quite proud of what I have created and how this transformation into DIVA went. 😎😍

Congrats on the renovation! Now that you have combined red and silver, can you settle the ages old conversation about which color NT700 really is faster... :p

Nice job and have a great time riding!

The cool thing about art is it's interpretive. I see pure Honda nostalgia converted to a different platform.

Thank you, sir. I am quite pleased with the results. I was not sure how you all would react to my creation, beauty, or beast?



You helped me on this journey and you got where credit was due in the video.
