Awaiting new bars and levers, then removal of some more chrome and mounting the hreadlight and turn signals. And then ride the crap out of it! dancr

That is a very unusual seat, I don't think I've ever seen one like that before. Any details about it? I like the olive drab look but you are correct chrome doesn't go with it well.

Seems like it could use a taillight. But I do like the olive theme and agree with the less chrome comments.

Actually need all lights. Have not put any back on since I took off the Vetter and all the other doo-dads.
