Springer is a DNA. Some trash them, but it seems very well-built to me. I'd buy another one any time and you can't beat the price.

Like the looks of that springer, looks more original style than most. Like that ac cover, too, what kind is that, don't think I've seen one like it before. Think I'd put a front fender on it, just to get some more of that color, looks good.

Thanks. Found the air cleaner on Ebay (search bobber air cleaner). I like the looks of it, but it's likely to fall off unless I come up with a more robust way to keep the cover on it. It uses a little wire clip that is easy to dislodge with your leg. I go back and forth over the idea of a front fender and agree a little more color up there would probably look good.
