Title: Vintage kit
Post by: zonutt on March 11, 2009, 11:29:52 pm

Guys, newbie wannabe here.  Wondering if there will be a vintage kit for the G5?  Im hoping for a front fender with struts and pedestrian slicer?  Thanks.

     The front # plate, as well as a lot of the accessories for the Electra will fit. The front forks do not have the mounting points for fender struts, so you won't be able to mount that style fender.

Sorry,
but the ""vintage"" ""C5"" comes with struts and I'm sure you can add a pedestrian slicer as it only needs a bit of boring and bolting on.
So why a vintage kit for a G5??? when you can get it factory mounted on the C5?!

I like the G5 because of the 19" tires and the kick start, but would like to have the look of the old bullet, ie the front fender and the tool box. I guess I want the best of every thing. IMHO anyway.

   Yeah Holodeck, I think you and I need to buy the G5 and the C5 and just swap the engines out.
