Those foot rests!

External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text

First thing that caught my eye. Do you know what they are? I think they could be modified "SUNDANCE" handlebar grips once popular long ago(or maybe just same manufacturer?). I have a set and they look kinda cool but using them is pretty meh - I much prefer stock style rubber grips!

Second thing I noticed is at least it seems to have been upgraded to an LML motor w/ the black forged steel P style kickstart.

These are mine, turned aluminum w/ grooves for 15 O-rings which 1 or 2 would often roll out of the groove while you're going down the road.

But if they are your jam, I understand, they are so sexy. You can get them on eBay... or much cheaper from me, I don't want 'em anymore!

Yes, that style of winged badge was made by Ulma. Originals are chromed sheetmetal while most the fakes are sand cast aluminum.

I had them on my VBB in the mid '80s along with a bunch of other NOS accessories.

original Ulma wings

Ulma hub caps, Vigano sidesaddle step, Ulma rear rack.

This is a faithful reproduction of the smaller Ulma wings. only one I've seen that gets it right.

Nice VBB! and nice OH accessories! I've always loved this look. Its a shame we dont see more of this.

I have a set of those wings, sand cast repop version. I got them in Italy 20+ years ago, not knowing then that they were repop. They look good sitting in my 'rare' parts case lol

I used to like 2 tone paint jobs too. But both seem to be found on most Vietbodges so it kind of ruins it.
