UPS just dropped off the new lowered fender from A.I. Choppers. I'll mock it up and get some pictures taken. Looks nice.
Somebody got a steal on fleabay on a 812-511 PCIII. Listed with no reserve for $159. I laid back like the cheapskate I am and waited until about 20 sec left still no bids, dropped a $175 bid on it and BAM!! somebody sniped me at $202. He got a deal on that one.
ABATE is having their annual bike show this weekend at our local event center so I'm going to check out and see if there are any grips or exhaust systems out at the swap meet.

Too bad you don't live closer. I'd give you a hell of a buy on a beautiful Vance and Hines Pro Pipe. It was just a little too loud for my taste but it performs and looks great! It would look Killer on your bike. Just one 5 month season on it. Shipping would be killer probably and I don't have the original shipping box.

The gauges are back in the inner fairing and hope to get it back on the bike tomorrow afternoon. I did put the chrome trim rings on the instruments.
Here is the fender sitting in place. Will need the mounting holes adjusted, and I'm considering grinding off the rivets and welding it for a smooth look.
I forgot how sharp fresh sheet metal can be, blood all over the place. Slow down, slow down.....
