Default What do ya think??

I know its not much, but awhile back I was racking my brain to come up with some mods that were completely original.&nbsp\\; So I decided I would try to give my headlight visor a "Shaker hood" feel to it.&nbsp\\; I taped off the raised portion and used Rustoleum satin black spraypaint.&nbsp\\; I sprayed from very far away to get the texture and sanded between coats.&nbsp\\;

At the time I still had the stock handlebar clamp with the black HD wrinkle finish and this matched/ flowed really well.

I think I'd put the stock clamp back on.&nbsp\\; Looks good though.

The stock clamp on the nightster holds the speedo as well.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; It is that fallic bump that ruins the lines of the bike.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; My intention from the beginning was to lower the profile, so I had to get rid of the speedo the instant I put the drag bars on. If I coulda got a wrinkle black finish, I woulda.&nbsp\\; It was a bear finding this one (black) as it was!
