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

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
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

sorry no pics today , but tore it all down an started paint prep on the trike , but got the 2 tone on the tank today white with gold pearl .
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.
Just went back and looked at the whole thread again. It's an amazing build and has me repowered to get back at mine.
Fantastic.

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 .
