I didn't realize that was a tank badge. From the picture, I thought it was just a big decal. Great! So it's only missing pinstripes on the fenders? I can live with that.
Will the metal panniers from the Military fit it? I wouldn't care about the color. Black paint is readily available.
I would still like to see some kind of curvy Sportster-type fiberglass panniers on there, though.
I think that back fender's growing on me. I was sort of leaning toward black, anyway. It's not like I'd ever see another RE around here anyway.
Isn't it more difficult to find 19" tires? I would want to consider some tires well-suited for dirt and gravel roads.
