Otherwise, it looks fine, and I am going to order one. I will add patina, but with a file and a grinder. Except they no longer make pre-unit oil manifolds. Oh well, back to eBay..

Hint: are you also jealous of the large mirror he has in his garage? The oil manifold and tachometer drive on my Competition Gold Star broke while NYBSAGUY was riding it on his last visit here. If that wasn't enough, shortly after he returned home a global pandemic erupted, with New York as an initial hotspot. Need I say more? Anyway, I happened to have a Webco manifold so it was faster to just install it rather than repair the stock item.
