i recently recieved these fiberglass tins from an old biker that lives across the street from me.
they were painted around 1968-69.
the bike they were on was a 1951 panhead that was bought from NY and shipped to WA.
the bike was parted out for "unknown" reasons and the tins have been stored in the rafters in the old mans shop since 69 or 70.

i find myself at his place every second of free time i have.
he is so damn knowledgable it's crazy.
