Ok I am going to call this one done.
I added a Nexus 3-speed wheel set and Felt military style seat. I repainted the tank plate to Army Green and use a web belt to attach it.
at some point i may add a pin up girl patch to the saddle bags but not any time soon. My wife is excited to take...
Thanks for the comments. My wife is now leaning towards the ammo cans with bomber pinup art work on them. I want to be able to switch back and forth from the Ammo boxes and bags.
