Love the headlight bucket. If mine was still exposed, I think I just might have to do that.

Doing a swell...I mean great job going back to the past... (I might steal the mini gauge idea)
My bike is almost dead on with yours. I have the ribbed exhaust & a suicide clutch on mine. Once I figure the pic thing out, I'll get some up.

djroger, looks pretty sweet. I like the yellow lamps and chrome blinker covers too. You are right on with the retro look!

Re:My latest mod 1 Year, 4 Months ago  
Looks sweet ! Just put the Amber/Fluted lamps on mine.
I was thinking of painting my head light bucket, passing
lamp buckets and upper fork tins.Just one of thoses things
can`t seem to get around to, or spend the money on.

Looks good

Love the look. I just don't know how so many of you ride distances without wind protection. Gives me a stiff neck.

Re:My latest mod 1 Year, 4 Months ago  
I like the look of your headlight bucket painted but just my personal feeling I would paint the passing lamp buckets to match the whole look. I just think it would look more unison that way. Just a thought.

+1 The painted headlamp bucket looks great. I may have to steal that idea! (Proper credit will be given)
