    Just a few *updated* pics of my recent 1987 Big Red restore

    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?Click image for larger version.

    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

    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!!!)
