Being stuck on the couch here has allowed me some time to frequent the virtual swap meets, thumb through various parts catalogs and even do some searching via cell phone for parts. Hunting has been good. From finding a replacement scavenger pump housing for the ULH rebuild to a nice Electric Franks voltage regulator. Even stopped buy the toy department for this killer Britains, J.A.Prestwich Industries Jap powered rail that Alf Hagon rode into the history books (thanks JP!). The sissy bar I found on foot this past summer at a real swap meet - I just wanted to show it off a little and find out if anyone knew anything about it? I'm bored...

Puttin that boredom to profitable use . . top of the class young man.
Just a bit of motorcycle trivia if you're interested, the toy is a Britains model based on an English fellow named Alf Hagon who raced a JAP engined (J.A.Prestwich industries Dragster back in the late 60s. He's a member of the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame. Google him, and you'll find a lot of history and pictures of him and the real bike.
