Tank badges are on, that was an old pic from right after it was painted a couple years ago.

get the seat nut for the pass. seat hole welded on the inside of the fender.

that way, no ugly tumor on your fender and you can still bolt a seat to it.

i have a small chrome button head alan bolt filling mine

The shaved full fender looks awesome on that bike. I want to do that to mine eventually.

I have always liked your bike. Even though I have a chopped fender, I think on your bike the full shaved fender looks good.
