        ... though that half-shell helmet could cause a "pain in the face" should you ever "fall down go boom".

          pita pics

          Thanks for the replies,

          She was an exquizite PITA for me. I have no machine shops here to speak of and one hog shop that has no gnads if it aint a v-twin.

          Really like the chop chain drive and I will post pictures as I go.

              I'd rather have a set of foot boards but can't find any. These fit like univversals will fit. Had to make custom links aand the angle is a bit extreme for my tast. I will just have to re-work them
