[QUOTE="Bug, post: 149911, member: 3940"] Somewwhere in that mess, i had jacked up the front end and while it was free, I found out the steering head bearings were crap. So I replaced them and threw on a set of drag bars. Time for more copper! I broke out some more fun creativity with the next bit of copper. I got a pair of brake/tail lights from the local motorcycle expo and started work on a frame for them and the licence plate. [GALLERY=media, 26505][/GALLERY] I'll save you the gorey details of feeding those wires down the curvy 3/8" tubing... I used copper pipe straps and copper blind rivets to mount the plate: [GALLERY=media, 26507][/GALLERY] I curved the 3/8" tubing so that once it goes thru the fender, it curves up and follows the fender so I don't hit the tire. [GALLERY=media, 26506][/GALLERY] And now for some artsy bits... I didn't know the oldwings came with a soda can holder... just remove the gas gauge! [GALLERY=media, 26508][/GALLERY] [/QUOTE]
