Your forcing a confession out of me.
I bought an 81 Westy with a trailer hitch, the bumper was missing.
I removed my 83 bumper to put on this 81, I wanted to get a better price
out of it the 81 Westy.
I removed and sold the hitch to Rick the shop teacher.
Now I've got Rick's money and I'm trying to get a decent bumper for my 83
Westy.
So it breaks down to *Need a rear bumper*.
