Re: 69C40/build

Not for nothin'- if you're filling the "center space" completely across with the saddle tanks, consider dropping the front of the rear fenders to cover the "black gap" there on top of the tank. Perhaps a little bolt on shroud on the bottom of the rear fenders. The front flows down so nicely, just something to pick it back up, as it were. Damn, I dig this truck.
