Every light I looked at had damage to the top and some a lot worse. Clearly the bikes were doing cartwheels and pirouettes

Mega update

Getting some pieces de-chromed and other chromed. The sidecar attachment hardware in chrome will be stripped this week. I picked up a pair of OEM brass fender tips and a front fender light also in brass.

Still focusing on the 62 but getting a few things done here and there. Fender light will be ready soon.

Tips ready but the eagles are different in size and details. Not sure why, both are brass.




And these can now be parkerized. Sometimes after things are chromed parkerizing doesn't come out so nice so fingers crossed.

Got this pic this morning of my speedo from John Bordas. One less piece to find.

Need tank emblems, a sidecar fender lamp, gas caps and some other stuff I can't think of at the moment.

You might try www.deluxerestorations.com Cass has some nice quality repop gas caps. Used them on my 49EL rebuild.

When you find the tank badges, get your lettering for the paint from here www.1shot.com The correct color is Bright Red 104L
