Clarence's

i went out to clarences yesterday afternoon in search of a WL brake plate for my front wheel and what i was hoping to be a bates p-pad. he hasn't located either yet. we got to talking and i was saying i plan i running a pea shooter front end that i have yet to straighten, right away he said i needed a new front end, i reluctantly agreed. he took me over to a pile, about 6, of VL rear legs and pulled out a stock length chrome leg and i got excited. it has a weld repair on it and is a tad bit crooked but for sure runnable, he's got the rest of the parts for it, should have them by next week.

more brass on this one then steel....

he dug up a couple seats to show me, i just couldn't think of a use for any of them so i passed, but cool none the less. two of them were "Firth" buddy seats, made in canada and only available to the canadian market, cast aluminum pans. one of them was meant for a triumph and called a "pally" seat, brits gotta be different i guess.

i did some more digging around, another vl fork caught my eye, then the rest of VL, i put a little pile together of stuff i wanted to buy and of course, i found the not for sale stuff. 

floorboards i thought were pretty cool

he wanted to keep these, next trip out i gotta work on him for them.
