BadA$$ idea.

a couple other copper pieces, like copper colored cables, would look awesome. Great job buddy.

That looks SICK! Copper coating your sissy bar or swing arm or the springs under your seat would look sweet as hell too!

i say let them patina a little bit THEN clear them.

too shiny and new won't look quite right and green like lady liberty won't look good either.

cool stuff.
