Hey all, just thought I would finally make it official and register after a lot of creepy lurking. Just want to say thanks so much for the incredible wealth of knowledge here.

Here's my current ride. This is number 4 for me

Hey thanks fellas. Soft02 I get that question a lot. Truth is it was on when I bought her. I believe it's off the early shovels because it was a b!tch to find the right light bucket and trim ring. The PO had a lot of goofy stuff wired, taped, glued mismatched on her. When I added the black dot light I had to rebuild the entire guts of the nacele.
BTW I see your in SLO. I just rode down last weekend to Cayucos, via Hanford/Templeton for my Great Unc's 86 Bday. just shy of 800m run. Got lots of family in SLO CO.
