OH It'll be there fenders or no. I like the cooler idea. ZIP TIE!!! I
save those for the H-D:-) I would have to go with some sort of light
integrated into the cooler:-)Maybe a neon beer sign for a running
light/brake light? Might even open up opportunities for me. Get the
biggest cooler I can and ride around selling beer. Maybe a nice little
shot girl with me? Ahh, who I'm I kidding.....I would end up drinking my
inventory with you guys.... NOT sharing the girl though.....you're on
your own...
Try to get over to the bike tonight & figure why no go to the
starter....

Hey Kev,
If it gets your Ambo to VMD, just leave the rear fender off.
Mount a cooler on the rear frame loop, zip tie the tail light to the
handle & yer GTG!
Guess we beter plan on fillin' that cooler up prior to our
Loop get-together...we don't want Mike bustin' our chops again like he
did last year!
Git R Done!

This |

| ago. I bought it on EBay--it was in pieces--and I put it together in basically stock configuration. The original rebuild was pretty: you |

of so ago, so I could start another project. Soon after, the tank developed a leak I couldn't fix, so I ended up getting a well-used replacement on EBay; this meant I'd need to do some painting. I never liked the original 4-speed, so I decided to put in a 5-speed. One |
| led to the next with the Ambobber the end result. I bobbed the rear fender. I took off some parts I thought were non-essential. Notice the fancy turn signals ($8.99 a set on Ebay). Check out that spiffy seat ($37.50, also EBay); and how about that fancy paint |
| rattle-can with satin clear coat)? I'll put a luggage rack on to |
| the back. Rich A ========================================================== Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
