Just picked up the bags and batwing today and got them fitted. Thought you’d like to see how she looks....
got some tinkering to do, but she rides like a new bike and I’m really pleased with the end finish (missing the small hub cap- it’s at the platers but I can’t get it with the lockdown).
we do two versions of that look the one is white with black exactly like you have done - Bravo to you young fellow
the other is white with white like the 1976 below only posting to show the other of the two greatest color combos - this is one of my current machines I use
not so young at 52, but having a chopped pan in the UK when I was 30 was pretty unusual.
First ever ‘stocker’ I've built, it’s been fun (and expensive) finding the correct bits, but I love the old girl and ‘correct’ bikes are pretty unusual over here
oh, love the blue and white combo- did think about changing mine from black to that (although ive now got Some weird ‘70s thing going on and would really like a brown 77)

Reason: Added bits
you could not give away a brown back in the day then today we find them with very low miles and no one like them - the mustard is another but I wont even but that color even cheap
Hi FI blue is a keeper as well I will see if I have a picture of the one we did its actually in my shop being serviced right now
so if I don't find one I will post tomorrow
Beautiful bike Jon, you did well. There is a certain pleasure in making one correct. I did a 68 Firebird years ago, and I'm starting on my 82 FXR. Enjoy!
as John said, it would reduce value, but more important to me is that it’s how it came Originally, and that it’s a ‘77. You could order black bags as an option, but not a black fairing till ‘78.
anyway, who wants to look like a Twinkie street glide 😎😎😎
