wish list

is there a cheaper alternative for the rear reflectors? VS and JPS want over $60 for what looks like bike reflectors. I think that is what I will use unless someone else has a good suggestion??

Also looking for rear bumper/body gaskets too....

The gasket for the bumper bracket? Vintage has them for a buck or two.

I want some cheap reflectors too, a set on ebay went for a song recently, I didn't realize how much new ones were or I would have snatched them up.

I wish someone would call me saying they want to trade their speedster for my Harley.....straight across.....
you guys don't know how to wish...you gotta wish big....

Vince,
Just throw a fairing and some wws on that hog and you'll be good to go.

Nice license plate there, Vince!!

I once worked with a guy who drove a Chevy II Wagon with a plate that read "UNSAFE". Then it landed on his Jaguar 6 with a Chevy 350 conversion, then on his supercharged GMC "Typhoon".

Maybe he had something in that plate........

I think I mentioned this before, I got pulled over for being to loud and when the cop saw my plate he said "that bike doesn't look unstable" I said, "its the rider not the bike"....he laughed, but I still got the ticket.....

Somehow the computer screwed up....here's another one.

Vince; you remember the famous Ralph Kramden quote?... "You are a mental case...." You crack me up, brother...always liked that "Unstabl" license plate.

Guys; check with Klasse356.com or Mid America Motorworks. Both outfits have them and they won't charge you an arm and a leg for it. They also have the bumper bracket to bumper gaskets which were inexpensive too.

VINCE,
I MIGHT BE CONSIDERING GETTING RID OF MY SPEEDSTER AND MIGHT CONSIDER A TRADE WITH YOU

I SHOULD HAVE IT FINISHED BY THIS WEEKEND.
I NEED TO TO GET SOME MORE GLUE FROM THE HOBBY SHOP. BEST MODEL I HAVE EVER BUILT. ANY SPECIAL COLOR YOU WOULD LIKE THE INTERIOR BEFORE I FINISH?

Hey Gerd...Paint this.......

...I got yer paint right HERE...

I'm a sick person - this s**t STILL makes me laugh. Maybe it's because it reminds me of the mooks from NY I was stationed with. They were MPs and always had us Medics in stitches!

Hey Jim wasn't it suppose to be the other way around?

ANYWAY, about those reflectors...
I guess the more expensive ones are for the 356B & C; the 356A ones aren't all that bad but they do look like bicycle parts. Stoddard has the kit for $26.50 each:

And Klasse has 'em for $26:

I guess I should get some, since there isn't much else you can do to improve safety that looks authentic.

Stephan - Tom... I got both packages today. I have a to do list for tomorrow now. When I finish, I will post some picts. Thanks again!

Stephan - I have the Stoddard reflectors on our VS.

This isn't the best picture to reference those reflectors, but it should give you an idea on how they look!
