So that when applied to the tanks the wings always fly forward? It's bad mojo not to do this.

Oh yes -- can't have any backwards flying wings...very bad mojo, indeed.

And "....be sure to wear some flowers in your hair....."! It's, like, karma, man!

Yes, I'm taking the P155! And, yes, they're handed and should fly forward.

In looking through some photo, I find that something strange happened to my CL77 that I purchased new in June 1968. Photos of the bike show the LH tank badge with wings to the rear. The bike sat for a week while I had the fenders chromed and afterwords I see that the badge is backwards. I wonder if I was the victim of foul play some 40 + years ago?
