    This is the 1st one (Indian Woodsman/ Royal Enfield) that I have seen on ebay.

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

  Thanks, I sure appreciate that, I just don't have the know-how to do that and certainly appreciate it, when I get an assist. ;) Sure wish I could afford to pick up on that one, but The Reserve is Probably "Up There", you know?  ::)

  I DO have to say though, that when THIS ONE was restored, the incorrect fork ears were put on it. The3 headlight was removable (leaving NO Braces, sticking out there) and there were 4 individual braces that bolted to 4 small tabs, on the fork covers and then came together to bolt onto the headlight, on each side. There was also a "Quick Disconnect" type wiring harness, with a rubber plug, to seal the connection (when the headlight, is removed)
