With a name like that you just KNOW it is a gem ..... :ebiggrin: :ebiggrin: :lol:























































Not bad - for an EK ....

The up-market version. Amazing and rare accessories. Thanks for sharing.

I'm still looking for the coolaride seat protectors like in dad's HD. I guess none of them survived as they weren't that robust.

Got a couple cracks in the bellhousing Tim - was that a common issue?
