Well done indeed, takes me back! You need a grab bar for the tail-piece, just to finish it off! :thumbup:

It sure is pretty !........you are gonna hate to get dirt on it :o .......perfect :thumbup:

Those Vintage Connection Kits are pretty cool.......Darth mentioned them, the McMaster Carr were good for my zeel install, but not original looking for a bike like yours......those autozone blue and yellow and red ones are junk !
