Oh ok. I was sure there had to be a reason, but I just wasn't sure which. So your gonna leave your wheel black and not paint it then. That makes sense. I would love to see some pics. Also did you ever re-screen your gauges to get rid of the 5s on the tach. Would love to see pics of that too. AWESOME ride so far btw!

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)

great looking wheel! bet if someone reproduced a replacement that size they would sell a ton of them. Maybe a tiny bit thicker too.

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)

Whats the raised portion on the fuel tank for? Will it fill being above the vent on the pump flange? Looks like some extra capacity if it would. Jim
