It looks better, that's for sure.
Now it looks like it means business as well as having added comfort.

I thought you might like the apes a little better, with those you don't feel hunched over.

Its been over a year but I finally got a tank! thanks Falstaff! not sure if I'll sneak this in during the build off or wait til after, but wanted to dredge this up from the depths anyway....

No worries, I'm glad the bike is useful to someone. I wouldn't have been able to get to it for a few years.

This is the only pic I could find of the lens I think you need.

I have a feeling that lens will be harder to find than the tank...

I suspect you're right, I've never seen one in person.
But....
Are you going for correct restoration or custom restoration?

Always custom! I don't have the patience, budget or ambition to do a correct restoration on anything, I just build stuff I like that's fun to ride

That's what I thought I was doing.
But I rode setback to work the other day, it's a cool looking bike but that seat really sucks. Not fun to ride.

Random Motivation on the other hand is still awesome, maybe I should stick to building my own stuff.


That said, if it's custom stick with what you have. Unless you see another lens you like.
Also, if you end up for some reason using hand brakes; you might set up some lights actuated by the squeeze of the brake lever.

Time to dig this one back up, now that I have a tank {thanks Falstaff] I can get it finished! I'll try to get some pics up this weekend

I just acquired a Flightliner a week ago; not as nice as yours, but the taillight lens looks like this:

I think I like your replacement lens better!

 

[deorman]

LOL. Did you swipe that off a dump truck, or did you get it that way?

That's why we call them "rats."
