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.

Makes me want to fit a Elephant Ear fender and go look for some rain!

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.

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.
