No, it's from HD's 'Sportster Collection'. HD offered it starting in '04, but they are discontinued parts now. I found the derby cover at Finditparts.com. last time I checked they still had some, they sell on ebay too.

Only place I could find the mirrors was in The Netherlands, THAT cost an arm and a leg to have them shipped here. They did sell a timing cover too.

Found a 1984 XLX/XR1000 solo seat and matching passenger pad on eBay. Found the pad and bought it in December, and found the seat about a week ago.

That bike is so beautiful, I don't think I'd be able to ride it.

Yeah, talk about a temperature swing. Wanted to ride so bad this weekend but didn't because of all the salt and crap on the roads around here, moped around the house yesterday. Sorry but your statement made me feel better!
