If you look closely in the middle of the pile of glass (epoxy) on the home page you will see the starter cover that is on my conversion.
I can't find a price on the site but it's gotta be a bunch cheaper than the one I got from France.

Very handsome indeed. Almost makes me want to build a cafe racer.

My thoughts every other day, when I'm riding in the rain.

Back in the day, someone made a fender for the rain for the /5. It was basically a /3 fender with mounting for the /5.
I have a thought that Vetter made something like this too.
After riding a few of those bikes, I can tell you that they work.
Ask the Indians what happens when you don't control immigration.

Do they work any better than the valenced Police fenders available from the factory at the time?

A freind in the 70s had one of those Vetter fenders, I think it was called a Rainy Day fender. It did work.

I have an Elephant Ear fender made by Doc Batsler of Daytona. It's been in the shed since 85.
