Rear tailight is a glass beehive trailer light with license plate grafted on. Seat is from West Eagle. Re-located ignition switch into top motor mount. This is a short list of things and the details go on forever. It is long and low and mean. It is the perfect combination of new motor-5-speed and frame with a vintage look. It's fast and a lot of fun to ride. Mid controls make the seat position more forgiving. Bike is in show condition! Very rare one-off parts and fabrication.
