The hair dryer must work GREAT on stickers cause I can't see any other that YOU would have a hair dryer! :mrgreen:

But the paint that's on it is so dang nice!

Yeah, that original blue is pretty sweet...I sorta like it as is.

Bike is way cool as it sits! I've had a couple of the blue Collegiates and that color always jump out in a crowd! Grab some matching grips, get a snazzy horn, throw a cool lighting system on her and enjoy life!

I love the way the fenders are trying to hug them tires! Great job.
Thanks for all the info and pics,

I've got some brand new blue glitter no name grips if you're interested.

by **Markm** on Sat Jun 30, 2007 9:13 pm

why yes, ratrod...I AM interested

l mk details...

I'll take a few pics tomorrow. They should match nicely. I paid $5 at my LBS for the pair...never used them. I had planned to use them on my wife's 63 American, but I went with white instead. How does $6 shipped for the pair sound?

Here's a shot before I swapped out for white...

I have to agree with the crowd it looks good the way it is, but its your call

cool old hanging stop-sign-shaped rear reflector. Found an old headlight for it and as soon as I get it working I'll post a pic.
