Default Latest and greatest ...
Couple of projects that are in progress or recently completed ...

Rear fender rail ... side view of rear wheel/fender ...



... rear view ...



... full on side ... abeam ...



Retro, Softail Springer-type horn ...



... a closer pic ...



So ... still trying to work out the mounting setup ... I did an OPTEST and the horn did not work ...

The instructions say not to disconnect the original equipment horn ... so, thinking I will relocate the stock horn to the rear of the frame below the seat somewhere and just mount this one up in the stock horn location ...

* * *

Next up ... a set of FLD Switch Back take-off rear shocks ... yeah, the 'cigar tube' ones ...

Really dig your bike. Definitely ahead of it's time! What color are the tins? They seem to change depending on the sunlight.
