JesterDog: Welcome to the forums and please post some pics of your interpetation of old-school cool

ChiefGator: Now that's what my bike wants to be when it grows up! (an award winner too)

Whiskers: you won't believe how awful the stock horn cover looks compared to your new round one. Just what was the MOCO thinking when they hung ahalf-squashed cowbell on the side of the engine?

Fringes? We don't need to stinkin' fringes!

Actually, I had fringe on drivers and passenger floorboards at one time. I got tired of that look and they came off.

All: So what other parts are we missingthat we've never seen before? I keep Google-busy looking for new stuff but I'm running out of ideas.

Whiskers, Love the look of your bike. My RK will be going that direction in the future. One thing IMHO that would look right on your bike is a seat rail behind the solo seat. Very retro. Nice to help spend other people's money. My RK is Luxury Rich Red and I'm going to try some white tape or plasticbelow the stripe to get and idea of how the two tone tank would look.

47Norton:

Thanks for your great comments. I know exactly what you mean by the seat rail...there's a guy on this forum who makes these and I've got my eyes set on one sometime down the road. Here's his e-bay link that you might want to hold onto. Now how do I tell the wife to let loose of the check book?

Ride safe.

Whiskers, Buy her some jewelry. It has never failed for me. Try 50% cost of your Harley parts. Just think of it as a mark-up.

Sol: My new horn cover came in today...check it out. Thanks for the info. I also added the nostalgia saddlebag rails last week.

Ride safe.
