bowtiewagon,
Good photos and I can see your bow tie wagon in the background.
The all flat black is the one I would get if I get another DF. I'd pull off the tape on the fenders and the tank and leave the rest of it alone. It looks old school just fine.

I'm looking for some ammo cans also. I removed the rear turn signals so have plenty of room for some.

I want to get my hands on a set of those flat black handlebars and the flat black tail light.

I put some of the black wire wrap over those white battery wires.

Glad to hear again that you had good luck with scooter depot.

Too bad about the drought in Texas. My brother in Dripping Springs is sweating the wild fires. Two other brothers in Houston have had to let their lawns go also because of lack of water.
