5twins' post about his new acquisition, a late-model Special, got me thinking that it would be interesting to have a thread to collect ideas about changing their appearance to (hopefully) a more "classic" look. As one example, many of us who acquired one of these "ugly ducklings" quickly swapped out the OEM "rototiller" handlebars for a flatter style. Many also make some kind of change to the humped seat / "grab rail" / taillight. I think most folks would consider such changes as improvements, but I accept that "improvement" very much can be in the eye of the beholder. I also understand that some appearance-driven changes can have functional or safety benefits, and vice-versa - they're all within the intent of my thinking, for example, swapping the front disc for a lighter, slotted or drilled one. I'm not thinking here about complete style changes, like hardtailing or bratting. For starters, I took a lot of inspiration from the bikes in the attached pictures, which to my eye do have a smoother "look". What can you add?
