... and yet another from Oz

Hi all, I'm from Melbourne Australia and converted my Valkyrie to a trike using
a DFT kit. I've added a top-box to the kit (swivel-mounted) and did my own paint scheme. The conversion created a few headaches, both mental and monetary, but I'm 'on it' at every opportunity. Now, let me see if I can post a pic...

okay, just looked at the preview and can only see a URL... well I tried

Welcome aboard puff, and I to love the paint job

Many thanx for all the welcomes, most appreciated.
Also thanx for the strokes on my paint scheme, although I had it done at a friend's shop in 2 pack, I did all the prep work and pin-striping ( I only use acrylic finishes at my home... sigh)

This is a great forum, glad I've registered

a couple I should single out...
Bob Witte... loved the Burgman, my mate has one all tricked out and I gave him this URL (and your name ) so that he might be tempted to trike it

Nana... heh heh, one tends to get hooked on yellow/black huh

Oh, and I see Pete all the time, but a 'hello' is all I'll ever pass on

Again everybody, thanx for making me feel welcome
