First for me too. Yep I like my original, but if it was in bad shape, as many are, this is a cool alternative. Not sure about the glare on a sunny day. Just talked with Al, and I think we have most of the needed parts within our group (think Alwing here - the guy is not just another pretty face)Dog Boy wrote:To the best of my knowledge, the gold top lid was not a dealer option. You're a lucky man to have seen more than one like that, as this is the first one I've seen in gold. It sorta looks cool but being the "purist", I'll keep mine in candy root beer brown.El_Taco wrote:I have a factory 78 seat, looks like the LTD style. Good foam, already stripped to replace the cover.
I would like to check out your flat seat, if it is a flat seat. Got pics?
Project looks.... deep. You're fortunate to have nice original connectors in your harness. Panels look awesome. What was with the gold plate, was it a dealer option or just popular for LTD owners? I've seen a couple shelter lids like that.

Re: LTD 993 . . . and so it begins
Funny...My LTD was one of two bikes in my collection that ran and were drivable!!! All the rest were projects!! The nice thing about this build is there are 3 members on this build that own LTD's so references are good to go! And Al is an original owner of one of those! I'm stoked about this build
