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.
