Lets get a photo thread started. Let's see that old iron.
My '42:
Retro brass extinguisher. It has a small spray extinguisher inside.
I scored an actual '42 NYS plate. The little Syracuse one is my first city of Syracuse pedal bike license plate from the early '70's. I've come a long ways.....
Not original with the GL cases (titled as a 60 due to this), GL clutch pedal, GL iron heads (painted to look like like WL aluminum ones), re-pop fenders (front one chopped tastefully IMHO), powder-coating, and Suzuki DT front wheel and brake (which I will get powder-coated to match the bike), but she was priced accordingly, and is set up exactly how I like.
Thats the thing whenever one buys anything non-original, and even original, considering acessories, color, etc. Youre buying someone elses vision.
The sellers vision and mine were close enough for me to pull the trigger.
Id checked out a few of these, and it seems the nice original ones were rightfully well out of my price range, and I didnt want a project.
