Cosmetic Mods
-Custom Paint job (gloss black with silver metal flake stripe down the center of the tank and seat and front fender. White pinstriping on tank, seat and side covers. The black paint has a purple metal flake underpaint that sparkles in the sunlight; very subtle and classy!

-Custom cafe fiberglass seat with storage compartment and embedded rear light- This alone cost me 2k! Now you don't have to worry about storing your wallet, phone, and other small accessories. The seat is a functional storage compartment. It's large enough that I can fit an iPad mini, sunglasses, wallet phone, gloves, goggles and other small accessories. Plenty of space! The seat is secured by 2 screws that slide into the holes of the seat pan. Once in place, the seat is secure and does not move. The seat frame was shortened and the fiberglass seat was built around it; truly a custom job. This gives the bike that classic cafe racer look!

Craig Vetter Grand Marshall for 2012 AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days

Tue, 22 May 2012

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame member and noted designer Craig Vetter — whose contributions to motorcycling range from the iconic Windjammer fairings and the Triumph X-75 Hurricane to the Mystery Ship limited-production high-performance motorcycles and a number of high-profile motorcycle fuel-economy contests — will be honored as this year’s grand marshal at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days featuring Rockers and Mods, July 20-22, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. Vetter has been a member of the American Motorcyclist Association and a designer since 1965, and his varied background gives him a unique alliance to both the Rockers and Mods motorcycle subcultures. His design projects over the years have involved café racers — the motorcycles of choice for Rockers — and scooters, which are favored by Mods.
