What he said... plus:  I think any shroud behind the radiator would be a 
bad idea.  At that point the air flow has mostly done it's work and you 
want it out of the way.  You also want some aire flowing past the 
internals (dynamo, carbs, etc) anyway.  The 'cardboard' shroud isn't as 
cheesy as it sounds -- 'fibreboard' sounds better.  Anyway the one 
supplied by Moss, et al fits perfectly, is reasonably prices and 
probably hard to improve on (IMO).  I think originals were usually 
painted body color.
