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?

Slowly.... not much available...

I'm having to find people that will make parts for me....
It took me a while to find Mike at Haley's Designs... but he was more than willing to work with me...

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.
