I think I have decided to paint the front fender gloss black to match the side covers...so I’ll be doing that in the next week or so. Trying to have it completely finished for the Distinguished Gentleman Ride in September.
Thank you

In the glove box of course, my usual hockey puck support has gone missing This was just for the photos, although I have been trying to find a suitable longer kick stand...haven't had much luck yet. A welder friend suggested we cut it and then use a sleeve to lengthen it an inch or so, but I haven't followed up since then
