the hammered effect is pretty cool. did you do that yourself, or did those parts come like that? fits that bike good.

Thanx! I did the the speedo bezel,ignition switch, panel nut, and trim ring myself. I took the parts off and sanded them down with the intial thought of staining and color them to an aged brass look but couldn't find the right products to do the job. I ended up experimenting with some rattle can techniques and think it came out pretty good!

Looks great man! I find it's always a lot more satisfying doing stuff for my own bike than having someone else do it or just ordering a part and bolting it on. It really makes it YOURS.

BTW, in the future if you ever need to do stuff with metal, check out these guys: http://www.sculptnouveau.com/index.cfm. They have metal stains, patinas, metal waxes and oils, and different options of clear coats. Plus, every time I have ever ordered from them, they have sent me a free bottle of something else just to try out.

Keep up the good work.
