Lookin' good, Marty!  Seems more and more of us around here lately are bobbing the rear fenders on our BAs and Speedies, doesn't it folks?!
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

It amazes me how many I see with the reflectors still on. I drove my bike home from Hermy's got off it and pulled them off. There might be 1 or 2 shots of me on it right before I did it Wendy took that day.

Thanks very much for the compliments. The mods weren't anything major so I was able to do them in a week or so. They didn't cost much either, but the bike now suits me much better. I am still toying with the idea of new paint, but wanted to do all the mods first and check everything out. In any case, she's fun to ride. I take her out a lot.
And about the reflectors, although the stock turn signals always bothered me, the reflectors seemed OK. Besides, auto traffic has a hard enough time seeing me on the road as it is. Every little bit helps, I guess.
Cheers, Marty

About the tailight plate holder, the old lucas style tailight assembly is forged with the license plate bracket included and mounts with three screws/nuts (one high you can see and two low hid by the license plate). I found it on eBay for around $35. Just do a search for "lucas tailight" and get the one with the wider license bracket if that's what you're after. The one I got was cast aluminum and reminded me of the tailights on the old brit bikes I used to ride as a kid.
