Gary,
These are the lights I used on the chopper. They have a dual element version that could be used for turn signals too.

hold on to your seats gentlemen ,I know a lot of you have been waiting for this , my back ordered fenders surprised me today , so I stopped actually working an hour early an started playing so ........I finished the mock up of the rear of the trike , all major components fitted up just a lil welding to close some holes in the fenders an a bit of body work , should have the whole bike in paint in a week or so if I can restrain myself . the candy apple color is here just cant decide on a silver , white or a gold base to go under it yet , probably do a spray out panel an get a better look at it to see which one has the richer tone .

That's okay, Rusty. Stilletto, Switchblade, they're both some kind of knife. You're excused. Don't mope. And yeah, Captain America is on the road.lol
I got caught making a mistake again!
I'm gonna mope and fret all day, now.
rc
is the EZRider motorized bicycle completed now?
there was still pesky snow last time I looked...
Gary, I wish I'd had your metal forming skills when I was doing the tank. The fiberglass is okay but a steel one would have been better. Keep those photos coming.

Tom , your already half way there when it comes to forming metal , I know forming glass is no treat , ya saw the lines an shapes in glass , so obviously you got a decent hand ,
G just get out the hammer an start swingin it , try with some sheet aluminum first , lil side note tho , not one of the wifes cookie sheets ! lol

sounds like a great combo. The hard part will be waiting for it to cure before takin'r out. Good time for lots of pics though, hint, hint.

Killer,
I wanted it to have an older appearance but not "too" old look , trying to hit a retro-modern look an feel.
flmotorbikes,
I made the mounts an welded them in place , yes they are custom , an easy to make , hardest part is placement .
Thank you steve ,
now git yers dun an lets see it !
got to finish a brake job down here this mornin , then I will probably paint it , I keep sayin I may take a lil break on the trike but kinda got a lil sence of urgency for about 2 to 3 more builds , as I have been trying to get any space in any bike or motorcycle shop in the area , an happily enough for me 2 shops with room in their show rooms want bikes for consignment sale, have to work out some smaller details with them , but this could be headed the direction I want to go .
