As I am waiting for parts that are back ordered, and can go no further with the engine/tranny until they arrive- I have turned my thoughts to the tins and such.
I bought this bike with radically extended chopper fork legs, and a small square headlight ( just like Snoopy's bike in the Charlie Brown camping special, circa 1972
).
I know it should have what I think is called the "top hat" nacalle, being a 1958 flash. I can get these from various places, but I personally feel it does not add much to the looks of the bike. The cow pie was better, but thinking about the "spindley" looking mount the RGS had, painted the appropriate gold color, and that is exceptional looking IMO.
I believe I already have the correct reproduction headlight for this, sourced years ago. I would like to maintain the long fork shrouds, without gators. Has anyone done anything like this, and maybe have a picture? I have tried to find close up pictures of the RGS mounting solution, but most are too over-all and general to be of much help.
Or am I completely off my rocker and having a bad decision moment?
