I love the matching headlight bucket! Did the same with mine, it is all about those SMALL details! Glad to see others focus on the small things on these builds.

Rat,thanks! I never imagined even botm! I'd still be building it just the same ...it's a labor of love. This bike is special to me. It's ride is smooth as glass,and strong. I'm used to a triumph rigid.( But I have another I'm building as well).
