hey easyrider, yep 1:6 scale 1948 lndian Chief on the cupboard, beside it a lndian head fender light, l'v found a site that sells the drifter front fender & rear one aswell , just deciding whether build my own or buy one, but l prefer the rear guard off the 1500 nomads better. l will end up with a chief,(real one) but l'll still keep the Nomad 1600 its has to be the most ridable bike l'v ever owned, considering l'v owned it 4&half months and put 6000Ks on it and thats only riding on the weekends, there is another leather place in sth melb l'll get the address, l'm thinking of recovering the seat in leather aswell :)

i will get on to it first thing monday matt! as for dimensions well each grip maybe 20cm square? plus a bit for the levers,for the back rest i recon30cm square? & then some long pieces for making lace{to tie on the grips & levers}+ some lace for hanging off the grips.i think maybe plat the lace for the grips with some feathers & beads like it had before would look good so i recon a piece for the lace would need to be around 50-60cm long at least?
once again thanks you have been a great help!!.........easyrider{matt}

my wife lives by the saying the bigger they are the harder they fall & she never backs down!!! we stir each other up a fair bit & it usually ends up with us wrestling each other,she used to be a kickboxer yrs ago,she`s only small but man she kicks like a mule,she sat me on my arse once & knocked the wind out of me so bad it took all the strenth i had not to let on she`d got the better of me,she`s a little power house,i seen her knock a bloke on his arse on the dance floor once after he walked up & licked the tattoo on her shoulder,there would have been ten of his mates watch`n & not one of them was game to help him, i laughed so hard i had tears rolling down my face................going rates 60/40 adam hahalol
