Thanks, my Dad also had a '59 way back when. In fact it was the only vehicle he and Mom had when they got married. Here's the only pic I have access to right now. It's the wall in his garage. '59 on the left. His current bike on the right, ZX12R. Not bad for a dude that graduated in '59

Cool, you share a common interest with your dad. I hope you get to ride with your old man. My dads passion was sailing which I didn't share but his passion for something I can understand as he does for me.
I'd ask him to sit up back but I know in my guts he'll lean left when I lean right and get the same walk home as any one else who does the same.

They say the family that plays together stays together. Gotta be some truth to that. That last pic I posted was us on the Blue Ridge Pkwy last month. That 6 cyl Voyager of his is 25 yrs old.
Same trip with my youngest daughter (18),... who also got her first bike a week later.
On his beloved NINJA last summer.
Sorry for cluttering up the classic thread.

Anyone know of a source for a chrome battery box-looking replacement for the right side cover? (ala 70s vintage FL). Ever since the RK came out I always wondered why the MoCo didn't revive that on this bike, while they built the Dynas with it from the get go.

I thinks the next thing I'm gonna do is a fender light like yours

The light is Heritage Springer. Make sure you order the lighted one. Bringing yourself to drill 3 holes in the fender is the hard part.
