I have been so tempted to crank bonnet guages, but too much of a cop magnet Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Was that private patch or a business selling on ebay? They make vl's look fat "in my own opinion".I was going too go ame's or just throw the set of fr 17's off my other car on my vl but dam for that price i think i might start hunting for set.Love the guages too they set it off. i want too throw some on the bonnet but i dont want too get any of the wrong attention on the street . You go a very clean vl there man. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
