fourty1, Both posts are there, not just the passenger side. Its an optical illusion from the angle i took the pic i guess.

Dave, I tried to find the thread about switching stanchions, but can't find it... any chance someone could link me to the thread? Are you saying someone did it without needing paint work? I'm confused... As for painting the ones I have black, i think polished aluminum looks better than black if i do have to keep them. Some big '32 lights and a So Cal headlight bar should help change the look even if i can't change the windshield.
