Wow they are expensive, but very hard to find a good used one, luckily i got a decent one a couple of years ago from Trigger as my original was very bad and too far gone to rechrome. What is interesting looking at the pics of the nos ones is the quality of the chrome is not great, and the spot welds show prominently . also the shape which looks like a dent to clear the shocker, definitely made to a price!

Not great are they and top, top dollar! I can feel Kempton autojumble coming on I think! :-[

Picked the frame up from the blasters this arvo. 75 and he bobbed me a coat of acid etch on it straight after blasting after a hoover off. What a star!
It’s come back looking great apart from the following four or five piccies.
(Now, being technically challenged as I am, as my crap typing and general laptop management shows, I can only put one photo up at a time from my phone via the Tapatalk thingy and on my laptop I just get file too big to send. Even if it’s just text so given up posting replies on that now!.
Anyway, have to put them up one at a time even on small, so bear with and just chuckle quietly to yourself and don’t let on please â€)
So, bit of old gravel rash on the n/s rail underneath, but if a ‘ding’ on the n/s rail also, so I reckon it’s been poked by something by mistake in the garage and or either been on concrete blocks and/or been dropped off it’s side stand into a kerb or similar at some point in it’s history? No biggie and no real damage I think so quite chuffed, especially when you consider it’s in excess of 40 odd years old. It’s in better nick at 44 than I was
I reckon the ding will fill with weld once drilled and then flatted off and the bottom will sand out fine before painting.
It’s a bit ‘rippley’ on the top spine though, is that a manufacturing process thing?
What do you lot reckon or has Phil sold me a ‘cut n suit spesh’ before giggling manically and running off into the sunset via the Timmy Taylors brewery? (Kidding Phil)
Forgive the rather used appearance of the workshop, it only looks ‘decidedly used’ because it is
