I agree, don't worry though... pictures of the BEAUTIFUL exhaust system will be up tomorrow.

I am very happy with it and now rather than getting looks after I park somewhere I get them when I'm pulling up....

I was actually about to buy the red and my better half the military suited me better.

I also called the nfield gear today and found out how to order a new oval cover for my tool box. Planning on mounting a holster, but I rarely carry so i'd rather have an un-drilled cover for daily riding, all the same, did a mock up to see what it would look like and whether it would give clearance.

how much does a new cover run? i've got a black one that I do not use. it's a little scuffed up but if youre going to mount a holster on it....

again it's black not green but I might be in the market to ship it off to you.

let me know

they are about $45. As far as it being scuffed and black, I would probably end up roughing it with some 800 grit and shooting it with eggshell OD green anyway. I PM'ed you with my email addy.

That thing is sick. A holster on an Enfield. Perfect!
