Those are Norton gaiters and a 5.75" HD headlight.

"New" front wheel, a double leading shoe drum. Closer up view of fork gaiter:

Shoot! My prostate gland is bigger than that tank! :D

I really like the apes and gaiters. How hard was it to put them boots on?

I think that tank might be even smaller than mine...

I put gaiters on mine while I was doing the front brakes.

Maybe a half hour more time involved. For each fork, top cap, lower tree clamp and turn signal clamp.

but first take off fender, front wheel and brake caliper. ;D

The tank MIGHT hold 2 gallons. It is off a 1950s HD CL dirt tracker. One of the little ones. Think Aermacci Sprint, but older.

Fork gaiters? I didn't keep track of the time, didn't matter. I did not drop the wheel or fender, just slipped the tubes out of the trees.

I actually had the drum wheel installed a week ago. Looks great, needs new bearings. Found out once everything was installed. :P Had to put the ugly disc set-up back on.

The paint is Duplicolor Metal Specks out of a bomb can. Even my pickup got the bomb can treatment, nobody believes me... ???
