I'm here in Oki ask we speak. Live on Foster and work on Courtney.
There is a smaller dealer way down south but probably not worth the trip as they have less in stock than the one on 58.

I never looked at the sizes, could not get past the prices.

There is a biker shop outside Kadena gate 2 called Al's Cycles.
You may find something in there.

If you plan on renting a bike, give me a shout and I can show you around.

Ask someone to give you directions to Al's yum yum tree (if they are still in business) for the shirt. Also, you need to go visit "Habu world" and to thru the cave. The restaurant at Habu world sells fish heads on a bed of rice if you are interested. I passed.

Yum Yum Tree has been closed for at least 6 months.
They run all their sales out of the shop on Gate 2 Street (Al's Cycles).
That was a great place out on 6 right on the beach.

Man, I don't know how it is now, but back in the late 70's, you could have just about anything you wanted made right before your eyes just off Kadena Air Base. I think it was called BC street. Or maybe that was where the hookers were. Sucks getting old. Either way, just off base is where I'd go and have some made to suit you.

BC Street is now called Park Blvd.
They changed the name a few years back trying to clean up the image.
Different name, still the same old bars as far as I can tell.
First time here was in 1986 with the 11th MAU (MEU).
Don't hang out there as much as I did when I was a lot younger...........

Here is a link to the annual Gate 2 Fest.

Great event. Both sides of Gate 2 street lined with bikes.
