Cool story, but sad about his father. That bike brings back some memories of the 70's for me. It sure is nice. Where in IN are you at? I used to live in Rensselaer. Still have family in IN. Am planning on visiting there soon.
I just put a picture of the gators in my photobucket. The headlight ears are junk for anything, but a rat. LOL The gators are still pliable, and in very good condition. I see he still has the original headlight ears, so these should work perfectly.
