    Copy that, Marty. Mine "sort of" fits. A little curved gap above the headlight. I picked it up at a swap meet for $10.00.

      Thanks guys, I'll check into National Cycle. Hopefully they have a retro look that I can paint the bottom half. Good idea!

          I have had a Slipstreamer and and a National.

          I also like the National better and it has better mounting.

              Yeah, it would definitely give it the military look for sure!

                    The site is acting funny... Something doesn't seem to be working right.
                    I'm seeing some empty posts by radioguylogs, lab3, and jetmechmarty. (posts 108, 109, 111, and 113 are blank.)
                    I did briefly see a picture of an old military bike posted with a painted windshield. I think it may have been posted by lab3, but it's gone now. Anyhow, Thank you for the great pic.

                    OK, this is weird, I logged out and could see the content of the posts, but when I logged back on, they were blank again.

                    And now they're gone again, I noticed this yesterday too.

                      Yes Bob, I am experiencing the same thing. A few posts have no content.

                          Ya, like that. Marty, yours seems to do it every time.

                            yes, Marty's latest post #116 is blank. It seems like the ones who are including quotes from previous posters are showing up blank for some reason. Just an observation that may help someone troubleshoot the problem.
