Yeah, it looks nice but even though the stripes are wrong I could live with that. The thing I hate when people put HX/Z Sandman stripes on a van with GTS guards is when they can't just leave the small Sandman off, they need to stick them somewhere and nowhere else looks good. I've seen them on the door, the top of the guard above the stripe(!), at the front of the guard (ala HQ350) and in the traditional HJ spot, but NOWHERE looks good except where the flutes are.

So you leave them off!!!

Stick 'em on a toolbox or send 'em to me and I'll find somewhere cool for 'em!

Don't like the gas strut idea either, but otherwise a very nice van although about 20 grand too dear.
