Default Some minor changes....

Not much, but a few minor changes over the weekend....

I little more black after having my pulley powder coated last week which goes nicely with the black 412s (minus covers) and strut covers which I had done last year courtesy of www.finaltouchpowdercoating.com :


Here's my last headlight which I sold last week to a forum member:


Here's the Bates replica I replaced it with which I like much better, its pretty bright but will probably replace the bulb with a silverstar for a little more light at night:


Here's a parting shot near sundown after enjoying about 77 miles yesterday which fortunately got up to 62-65 vs. the chilly 20s-30s we've had recently with some snow and ice.

Thanks.
Yes, Roger does some nice work for a fair price and turn around is always great. I shipped him my pulley on the Fri. before and he blasted it, coated and had it back to me last Wed. I'd like to have him do my tins but thats too much $$$ right now. The headlight is indeed smaller than the last one and actually shorter than the stock headlight.
