Some Additional Information:1)  The Delta Defender tail light housing is made of aluminum (most were steel housings I believe).2)  The two screws that attach the Delta Defender tail light to the rear fender have been replaced with new, similar screws (round, slot head screws using a square nut).3)  Although difficult to see, each side of the tank says \"Moto Bike\" in black letters.

Some additional information:  A question was asked about the tires on this bike.  On one side of the tires, it says Universal Tire Co., Elizabethtown.  28\"These tires are probably an older reproduction of a period correct tire meant for display purposes only.  I have never taken these tires off the rims.  The tires feel like they have been filled with something to make them feel \"solid\".
