Looks great, too bad you cant get the speedo and gas gauge with antique needles and off white faces.

Like this.



Or like this one from SW that has a gold bezel.



I think they would look really nice on the X-Bones.
Kind of a "new antique", for a "new antique".

Not suicide, castrater, or instant soprano maker.


Anyone for a vasectomy?

The caps look great, are you going to add any other brass accents?

I was able to get some HIGH acorn nuts in brass (the OEM style). These are really tough to get. I have some available (since I had to buy 100) if anyone is interested.

I have those same spikes, so I know how sharp they are! Knowing myself I'd gouge myself on that center one daily just turning the ignition on and off!

Like the brass man, looks sharp.

I am in the process of getting my Spikes... ignition switch... and a few other chrome pieces done....
