Headlight

Did this yesterday. I took a Unity style headlight and 24K gold plated the ring & crown piece. I'd love to put it on my chop, but I just got done converting the high beam indicator in my headlight bucket to an oil light.

You should do your whole bike in two tone shiny stuff. In the 70s, I remember seeing a chopper that was equal gold and chrome and it was pretty cool looking...to me. Very showy and flashy.

It's pretty two-tone now, but I may do a little more on the left side.

Yeah...like that but this guys bike was to the extreme. Gold rims, chromed spokes...like that. He had an open primary too. Chrome parts and gold springs on the clutch. Wherever there was chrome, there was gold to offset it. I've never seen anything like it before or since. And it wasn't just a show bike. He was riding it.

BTW, like your bike a lot!
