I ended up removing the warning stickers on the gas tank and mounted a set of the rear mudflaps w/exhaust deflector. I also mounted the rear rack worklight mount so that it could be used as a backup light when needed. What ya think?139281139282139283139284139285139286

Hey Captain, thanks and yes this is the Big Red that I bought that shock from you for. I needed a good condition shock to support all these Hondaline bolt-ons :naughty:

I dig the accessories, but I think I would have to hang those flaps on the garage wall... (man, they are big and ugly! Just like my X-GF!!!)

mudflaps ,lulz. But they make it very unique. Very nice BR. How long did it take you to find all the accessories?

Thanks, I do drive it, not in mudholes though :cool: Those are the original fenders that came on the bike, they are in excellent condition which is one of the things that helped me make my decision in buying this bike. They only had one small, barely noticable scuff on them, and that is where I put the warning decals on it.
