It's gone, chick has it now. I think it's in Louisiana or the Waskom area. They were painted, shouldn't have let that one go.

 

Ah gotcha......

 

I'm guessing your R2s are long gone? That was a year ago but I'd love to find a set.

 

Yea man them pipes are long gone......I shipped them up to Canada somewhere.....

Bought a couple 700 hoods to see if I can update the nose. Either way the blue area, roughly, will be gone.

Tabs and brackets cut all at once so I don't get tired of grinding and leave em on. Going hammertone so the finish work is a little forgiving vs paint.

Cut the horse nose off, shaved the tabs. Mocked it up with tape to see if a sheet metal filler panel would look best. May do a v shaped cross member with bracket to mount the nose and replace the stamped cross member behind bumper with v shaped tube to tie in the nose/frame/bumper.

Ok I've got to admit, I like it much more now. I grew up in Buick GN's, and this reminds me of one. I'll play with the grille and lights, unsure of both but I won't decide until I mock the bike up before pcoat.
