FXDC Tank Console Mod - Part II
Instead of perpetuating my previous thread, I'll start another one. Some of you may have read and responded to my last thread about this idea. Well now I can actually show what I have in mind.
To bring others up to speed, I want to swap out my stock pleather tank console strap with a chrome console extension. But I didn't want to lose my #1 Super Glide Medallion (silly I know). Well, it turns out that medallion is just a piece of tin that was stuck to the old strap with adhesive and it peeled right off clean when I removed the strap from the tank. It is hollowed out underneath and appears to be just the right depth for some 3m double sided tape. So I was wondering how it would look affixed to the new chrome extension. Well here it is. I think I like it enough and it's removable enough that I'm going to go ahead and do it. The console extension is sort of domed in the middle but this tin medallion bends very easily so I should be able to get a good fit. Here are a couple of quick cell phone pix:

That was a quick mod. I like it. Yeh cadmonkey, how it holds up will be the question. But if it comes loose, I got more tape. :-)
Here are a couple more quick pix of the finished product on my bike. Seems to have resolved my seat fitment problem too. Well, this and some "persuading" with some wrenches on the front tongue on the seat.

I don't feel so bad using double sided tape for this mod, by the way, because that's essentially how they had that medallion stuck to the factory strap to begin with.
