I think it is. Double cut front fender and the smooth oil filter canister.

A last look at us.

That was one of the pictures hanging in the old shop: two beautiful babes in one picture. ;)
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

The demons are repulsed when a man does good. Use that.
Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

Which reminds me of what I once heard a father say about his grown up son:
"My son does not smoke... "
"My son does not drink... "
"My son does not chase women... "
He sighed and then slowly continued in a soft voice:
"My son is an idiot."
