OK... so not antique per-se, but since you guys know where to find all the good stuff.
A friend of mine has bought an older (10 years or so) Sporty to do a café-type project with it.
I mentioned a company that was around c. 1989-1990 that made a Vincent Black Shadow 'kit' to go on an 883.... new tank, bars, fenders, etc. I saw pictures and it was just drop-dead gorgeous. Anyone remember who that was or know if they are still around? Or if anyone still has any of those parts 'kits' floating around?
Idea on this is to go very retro. I am helping him with some of the design and fabrication and this machine will be neat when done... Tribute to the Broughs and Vincents.
Once this is successful, BTW, I am sure I'll have him hooked on an antique and the AMCA. It's in his DNA, he just does not know it yet. But first projects first.
Cheers,
Sirhr
