    as far east as you can get in michigan 43.027407,
    probably be pricey but how much for the fairing and bracketry shipped to zip code 48059 in the USA?

    DANG! you guys get ALL the good stuff...

    almost need to spring for the whole set, tank included that way i could have it painted a color other than the metallic red of my current tins...

    still, if you could get a price worked up. i cant guarantee ill jump on it but id like to look at the price tag if you know what i mean...

    Hey I'd like the gauge cluster, you could send it to Dave with his shipment and we could sorta split the shipping costs..........

    That is a sharp looking bike. I like!!! Good luck on your cafability....I've got a feeling that it is going to look even better, a LOT better!!

    I'm in the same "place" you are.....I'm dying to do a full out cafe but at the same time, I don't want to take any of my classics to a point where I can't return them to stock...quite a conundrum. Maybe one day a nice bike will show up that I won't mind modding.

    Have fun and don't go broke!!

    Just noticed the 4 into 1 exits on the LEFT - is that a "Down Under" thing, along with the Kangaroo Rack? :eek:

    I'll be watching and learning also !
