That is an interesting back fender. Nice bike bro.

Nice touches to the bike there, Benny! 
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)

Nice one Benny. Heeps of questions being asked of your bike so hope one more won't hurt. Are they Dunstall or Dunstall replica mufflers you're running?

Vector yes a Harly guard and as for the front tyre its a 120/90/IRC Durotour just love this pic from the front  Stevie, Dwight and keith ( you notice i put the ei to your liking and not the way they taught us at school) thank you for the kind comments Benny

I've always had a liking for the yellow and black. I think it's fantastic in a few months we'll be able to compare notes over a few beers too. Really looking forward to hopefully a good roll up to our meet in August but at least we know we'll be there with the rest of the amigos and others who have said theyll be there.

good lookin' bike. did you have to modify the front guard support to get the 120 in there. that looks alot better than the lazer that came woth the bike.
If it isn't broke, I haven't messed with it.

Now i have ta work out how to post a pic again🤔 I saw the link had popped up near the top and when I started looking only saw very old dates so I cut to page three. Good to hear you are still riding the old girl. I used my Flickr account last time I put in a photo.
