Looks good, agree with serious, but when you chrome the bumpers shave the bumper bolts.  

i've got a c20 at a friends farm she just bought i might be bringing home, great body, nice patina, no rust...

The bike kicks ass. But if you are like me I didn't hardley get a chance to ride for the last two years so I sold mine this fall. Don't miss it yet. I think your roadster will help you through the tough times.

road trip adventure
« Reply #10 on: December 05, 2008 5:05 am »
took 10 days   a LOT   OF $$$$,
 a new assortment HF tools to fix truck
  only 1 a arm fell off on NY tollway
 went through 3 snowstorms on way home, nothing like a front end overhaul in motel lot!!!
got some help from a member of a Buffalo NY car club, sledge and bar work to align the crashed lower a arm!!!
