I have it. I can't believe it... I ordered it on the 21st form India, and now 6 days later, I have it in my hands. If the P.O. could get letters and packages to my house from the other side of town as fast, they wouldn't be in financial trouble....DHL ROCKS!!!!...Now to the part. It's typical Indian quality....it's ok, definitely not show chrome. I have a lot of modding to do to make it fit the way I want. I held it in place with a couple of small bungee cords, and it looks ok with the tip...It has a 1 1/2 inch disc for an emblem in the center....it had a funky blue sticker that fell off right away.... I have a few ideas, but I'm right at the end of a pretty lucrative IT job right now, and I start my new part time job tomorrow afternoon, so I'll have to wait until the weekend to begin the process. I'll take a few pictures of it tomorrow, and see what you guys think.....

Definitely the front fender guard  ;) My thing is I'm not sure it's going to look good with a fender tip under it as well . Sooooo , looks to me the fender is going to have to be filled and repainted .

Wish I could of found one of these last week before I drilled holes for my tip  :P Oh well I'm liking the bling ... bling of the tip now  8)

I'm guessing the front fender guard. It looks pretty close to some of the old vespa ones...

I'm pretty stoked about this, so I'll get it done fairly quickly. I think I can still use the tip I currently have.

If you hurry on this, Troll, you'll undoubtedly get yours done before I do mine - I haven't had time to do anything on the bikes since getting back.  Mine is most likely waiting for the winter project list....

Ok, ok....it's the...no I can't it's fun keeping everybody in some kind of suspense. Trust me, when I do a reveal, it will be worth it....but only if you like chrome parts...

I think I have a pretty good idea, but I shall not say.
