I saw speedway has the plain steel and chrome frames. I think they have the wrong picture up for the frame. Their pictures have weird curves at...
I need recommendations on an aftermarket windshield frame. I have seen them on speedway among other places but I want good quality reproduction....
Thanks Deuce Lover! I'll order some.
I think I am missing the retainer clips. Do you have any pictures of the clips in place?
There's my problem then. I just went and looked up the rubber gasket on Macs and it says it goes between the lens and the bucket, I thought I had...

I'll try to get the paint code for you. might be a few weeks, my painter is out of town.

not a hijack at all! are you running a stock spring and cross member in the rear? I like the stance you have and if I could achieve that, I'd be...
