I'm sure that looked cool . I have someone working on a special project for me know , maybe down the road when the smoke clears , he can come up with this design as well 
PC , I ended up getting the mirrors from "customize cruiser" or something along those lines for cheap . Mirrors cost around $8 . The stems are metal , but the mirror head itself , are plastic . for the price I can't complain and will do the job intended for NOW

Ratman, I like that idea of a grenade tail light. That would be unique!

- May 21, 2014, 19:30:34 PMRatman it would be most appreciated if you find the small blackouts . The only blackouts we have are the larger ones in the shop . From my understanding they are the standard size now , being the HUMMMWV took the place of the pick up , blazer and jeeps from back in the day . I've also been looking for the old choke knobs like they use to have in the old jeeps etc . While I am here in the shop I pulled one of the blackouts off the shelf and it is just way to large for the front fender .

- May 21, 2014, 17:20:09 PM Just give you my ideas and up to you to use them, and your most welcome.......now the other night I watched some show #biker?
?? not sure of the name of the TV show, great ideas, and the other night I was watching it and you came to mind, they used a grenade as a housing for the rear taillight. We need to find you some small blackout drive lights, now to this end I am going to hit the local armories, I do still have a few buddies down there and see if there are any laying about, or unguarded and I will attempt to liberate them for you.......

- May 05, 2014, 21:47:40 PMQuote from: Drift1 on May 01, 2014, 22:52:02 PMYup I know what your talking about . I never thought of that I was looking for cylinder truck lug covers . I stopped at a truck rest area in Virginia , but they only had ones with a silhouette chic on the end .... If it's nice this weekend I'll run the bike over to a truck stop about 30 miles from me to see if they have what I'm looking for .
I measured the rear peg mounts on the 800, and they appear to be about 1 1/4 inch OD. Meaning, a lug nut cover for a 1 1/4 lug nut should fit over it. Not sure exactly, though- my boards were still mounted and couldn't get an exact measurements. All I have currently are 1" and 1 1/8", so they won't fit. I'll see what I can find.

After spending all that dough on a new Indian, your still obligated to spend another small fortune on CUSTOMIZING it, and I know accessories for that puppy won't be cheap. Cuz, you know, we can't ride a STOCK bike.....Richie, that had to just drive those Indian guys nuts when you pulled Ma-Deuce over by their trailer! I mean, look how good she looks there, and for the price of one of their bikes, you could have a small fleet of yours!
