thanks for the offer Cleve, but for now i'm trying to keep the cost of the bike down as much as possible. if i decide to keep it for a while and ride it some, i'd certainly be interested in the backrest...i'll see what happens with the sale. i've had a few inquiries on it but nothing serious yet. i'll also keep it in mind to tell a buyer if it sells.
the bike needs a good detail and after Thanksgiving, i'll have some time to get it inside my garage and "tinker" with it and give it a good detail. i really like the look of the bike and if i thought i could ride another year or two, i'd keep it. but, i've felt so much better after staying off of a bike this past summer....but i sure miss riding!
glad you finally got that windshield figured out, be anxious to see what you've done.
