Tom,
You really did a fantastic job on your bike. I am now in the process
of putting my '74 Eldo together and hope that mine will look as nice!
One question: I would like to get the mirror mounts that you used,
but am unfamiliar with EMGO and 'Flanders'. Could you please let me know
how to locate these parts?
Thanks,
Brian

| Thank you, Ian. Glad to know that my seven months of work managed to impress someone! The shield is from MG Cycle. Rick told me that it was one made for the European "California" model that was supposed to make the bike look more "American". I gave thought to going with a National shield, but wanted to stay away from the "Harley" look, so I gave Rick's shield a try. He has pictures of the mounts and such on the MG Cycle web site. The thing is a snap to remove or install. It only takes about two minutes to put it on and tighten everything down, once you have everything installed for the first time. The mirror mounts are cast, chromed, clamp on jobs that I bought from Flanders. I have since discovered that they are actually an EMGO part, #20-28121, and should be available through just about any aftermarket parts distributor. They have a standard 10mm thread to accept most Japanese style mirrors. I have since moved them inboard just a bit because I couldn't get the mirrors to rotate quite far enough in the old position. Another 100+ miles was added to the clock today, and other than a minor oil leak everything appears to be a go for the rally this weekend. Hope to see you there.
