Default Think I finally found a use for that belt buckle....

I'm not much of a belt buckle kind of guy, so when a family member bought me a few buckles as a gift last year they ended up in a shoe box up in the closet.

The wife was cleaning out the closet this afternoon and handed them to me while I was on the porch with my springer front end mocking up some brake parts that were delivered today. Well, one thing led to another and.....








Whataya'll think?

I'm not really the type to put skulls and all that sh*t on my bike either, but this one is pretty subtle and it blends in so well I think I just might keep it on there.

I also have a buckle with bullets on it too. Hmm.....

That looks great! Nice touch! Nothing wrong with a few well placed skulls, spiders or snakes to add a little more interest.

Might want to clear coat it, it's not really designed to hold up to any weather!
