Hooray! So, it all worked out. I ran it about 60 miles today; some highway, some backroads. My car is an '87 535i and I can't exactly describe why/how I feel they're similar, but this bike definitely has the soul of a BMW. I wanted a bike with character and I think this one's got it in spades. Now I know why y'all are here.

I don't know the part number. They were there when I bought the bike. I'm just happy to have em. Monte, Yes... But they only make prune-o. Hehe.. That's actually out in Byron, CA.
