The double hump guard needs to be replaced by a vintage style guard. I'm really glad RIC finally addressed this eyesore.

I always liked yours, Ronn. With a bit of originality to it too.
Thanks!!
That's what I was going for, similar but with a few personal touches, but most folks just kept asking why I used teal! Oh well.
But when you see the Chinese knockoffs online, most of them copy my paintjob.

So, what's the problem with that? You're more famous than Macca! :wink:

Ha!
No problem at all, just find it humorous.
I always figured, he had his paintjob for a small amount of time but I had mine for 20 years, theres a lot more pics of mine on the net than there are of his. Not surprising they copied a pic of mine.
