Default Old brass, new use
40S&W on the axle adjusters



40S&W valve stem covers



And my favorite, a 50BMG shift peg.

I used 50 cal for my shifter peg, and 20 mm shells for my foot pegs on my 1200 sporty. Kind of went with the bikes theme.

I though about using 20mm for the pegs too, but I got a deal on a set of Dually from Kur&$*@ or how ever you spell them.
I did ask a buddy whom is over in the big desert but he said its a no go to send them home.
I just may cover a few more bolts with used brass but am trying to keep it simple clean.
Very cool bike BTW.

You can go online and buy spent rounds of any military brass you want.
