El Rey, nice pics, you've revived my intrest in some tank badges. I have a set of reproductions that need to be painted on the inside. Need to pull the ones I have on there now and see if there is any marking on the paint.

It is, but it's done tastefully, not over done.

Excellent paint, fishtails, wide whites, old school air cleaner, round mirrors, half-moon floorboards, fender rails front and rear, chrome front end, chrome taillight collar. Good looking bike.

Dave had the passenger boards/pegs removed. Guess he has no intention of any 2 up riding.
