So... the Holy grail arrived today...
Two years of scouring eBay and Craigslist, finally came to fruition... under all that aftermarket crud... it’s gonna need a rechrome, but I think my $71 dollars may have been a good investment...

Great to keep these old 'Wings flying on down the road.

Re: So... the Holy grail arrived today...
Yeah Liam, very nice. Is that NOS?
My stash are all used, and 3 are for current bikes I own and the other 2 will be for future restorations (when the value of a good running '84 Std goes up) .

With the amount of guys out there today butchering the old wings into "bobbers", I would
think that this kind of stuff would be readily available.

Mostly because the ONLY thing standing between me and a 100% restored 1200 Standard is the rear grab rail. I look from time to time, but I've never seen one come up yet.
Don't get me wrong, I love my bags and trailer hitch. But it'd be REAL nice to have the option, you know? Ah well. One day.
