National Cycle Street Shield light tint. I like the shield. It installs easy and the provided hardware is good quality. Keeps wind totally off my chest. Little bit of head buffeting over 65. For me, it strikes that balance between wind protection while not detracting too much from the overall 70's style of the bike.

I bought the OEM Honda seat stencil kit with application instructions from Cool Retro Bikes.com. I used the recommended Dupli-Color Perfect Match Premium Automotive paint BGM0508 Ultra Silver Met (Replaces T191) The spray can was $8 at Auto Zone, although it should be available at most automotive chain stores. It's an Acrylic Lacquer based paint as that is better suited for adhering to vinyl/leather surfaces vs enamel based paint. It looks exactly like the logo on the rear of the OEM stock seat. I'm pleased with the results.

Hey Honda Lover, can you give me a bit of a run down on how the supports for that K-10 fender mount to the forks?

I asked the exact same question before buying my fender! The kit comes with a "U" shaped bracket that wraps underneath the base of the forks. The "U" bracket then secures to the forks using provided hardware in the original screw holes at the very base of the forks. (2 screws on the front and rear of the fork so it's a very secure joint). The struts then attach to the outer ends of the "U" bracket. It's very simple to install. I used Locktite Blue with all hardware.

Here are more mods. Added Red OEM headlight cover and upper fork arm covers. Also installed chrome tach & speedo covers. I'm considering the larger retro CB750K side covers from Daytona, however, still on the fence. I like the red covers that show the frame.

The bag you got there... what is it? Looks good.

Where did you purchase the front fender for $250? I'm finding it for closer to $500.

RE: Winter Accessory Binge - Riko_imp - 01-02-2016
