By the way, I gather you are not married. I do not believe my wife would be ok with me working on my bike inside the house.

Reply #2 - 02/25/16 at 12:32:58 The handlebar looks like the ones came stock on my '86. Swapped em for drag bars. What's old is new again ! I like flat black paint. How about plugging those empty tail light holes to finish it off ?

I would love to! do you know of any good seat mods? I saw that Corbin makes a bolt on one, but it still looks big an bulky to me... would love to mount a king queen seat, I saw someone on another thread did that. Just don't know if I posses the skill to fabricate my own seat.
