I’m not seeing it Steve F. But my view is clouded because those are on my short list of someday projects. Like seeing a ragged out superbird. Still have potential.

Sorry Grussell, I spoke too soon. My right side taillight lens is not the square shape like yours. It's the older round style. And it's actually more of an upper right taillight lens. Sorry to get your hopes up like that. But there has to be a right side taillight lens out there somewhere.

I'm still amazed at what the PO did with this one. Front wheel is on backwards, EN pointed out the head is on backwards, and he painted everything, including the fenders, yaller. Tins are supposed to be white, and the fenders, silver. Incorrect details abound, too, like the hand grips, though the correct set with one recessed for the throttle inset and one flat for the left side, were mounted on the wrong bars.
