I am all for patina, but the original front fender was a bit much.





The fender I got from Harper's is a perfect match for the original rear.

I bought this V700/early Ambo taillight a long time ago, just in case.

One of the big ticket items for this bike was the instruments, which were missing from the pile. 

Harper's to the rescue.

Nice, the new fender next to the original rear makes a good case for it. Original front was too far gone to leave as is, and now the ends of the bike will actually look like they belong together.

Good call grabbing that V700 style taillight ahead of time too. It's the kind of part that's a pain to find when you suddenly need it. And finding the instruments at Harper's takes care of the big missing piece. Is the speedo/tach set complete with the mounting hardware, or will you be hunting for brackets and cables as well?

Looking forward to seeing it come together.
