    That's really sharp. I like the way the silver emphasizes the engine.

          Can the same bike be BOM twice? That would be cool!

              Looks great! Is that seat cover from Sargent seats? Is that Supertrap still available anywhere?

                A definite BOM if there ever was, love the new paint scheme! Makes me think, are either of those the "fast" color? :-)

                    When I did if I used aluminium angle cut to shape and epoxied in place. Works great and doesn't take long.
                    Posplayr did a good write-up on it here somewhere

                    Replacing all the rubbers and lube with some Vaseline or similar is well worth the effort too.

                        Stunningly beautiful bike. Looks awesome Joe. The quality really shows though, both with the paint, and your tasteful mods.

                            Yes, that is a Sargent seat cover I installed myself along with some of their Super Cell Atomic foam to firm up the seat.

                            The Supertrapp Superlight Stainless systems are no longer made and are very rare. I was lucky enough to find a new in the box system a couple years ago. Check out this thread for some more info.

                            Thanks,
                            Joe

                              Greg,

                              I came up with some creative methods to rebuild the tabs. Send me a PM when you're ready and I'll tell you what I did. I took some pics with the intention of creating a couple threads but haven't gotten around to it yet....

                              Thanks,
                              Joe
