    @Machine, They are not easy to find in this condition, that's for sure. Most are customized and selling for a lot. I say this now, but I am not planning on selling it anytime soon. I am also not planning on chopping the frame.

    Cap is on the side, not center. The side covers are metal... not sure if that's stock. I have disc brake in the rear. Thanks @jetmechmarty! I can't wait to see how yours turns out.
