I am looking forward to having fun with this. Can you guess what it is and what it will become?

Headlight housing? Whoopee cushion case?
You can tell I 'reel-y' don't know, I'm just 'fishing' for ideas.

Well. I was expecting to have possession of the rentals after work today, but the previous owner's moving company didn't even show up until 5pm. So while she is moving out, I used the time to break down Rockafella.
By the way, here are the two rentals on the property we bought.
1940 Two BR Bungalow Main House
And 10 year old One BR Rear Cottage.
Back to Rockafella. I've been running the 1" Shelby steer tube and races with the 1-1/8" bearing and cups. I ordered up a set of the Problem Solvers Headset Reducers and installed them.
I also finished punching the holes in the tank center panel to accept the tank horn and screws. After another test fit with the horn, I broke down the tank. I even had time to put the first coat of Gumby on the top and bottom panels.
I tested the tailight behind the seat and I just wasn't feeling it there.
I also removed the wheels, fenders, and cranks so that I can tap the braces for the guard and fender some other time.
And finally to answer part of what the fly rod fishing reel will become. I got this at a yard sale a while back because it just reminded me of a gangway horn or the old water can spout horn I made for starsNbars. I knew I would make a noisemaker of some sort with it. I went to Hobby Lobby last week with the plan to get some small bells to wire inside the spinning part of the reel. I was about to buy some regular style bells when I saw these hanging there. I knew I just had to have them so that I could make this my More Cowbell handlebar bell.

Cool idea!
Spent the day working on the rentals, but did have fun marking up the frame.
A fishing reel with cowbells?!?!?!....That's some epic doodadery right there!...
I took the fishing reel apart and was planning on using safety wire to string the mo cowbell inside of it. Then I saw a stack of spokes and nipples. After pinching a couple of nipples 
here is the idea I came up with to hang the mo cowbells in the spinning section of the reel.

Thanks, I think this was meant to be. I just realized with my current plan, it just so happens that there will be 12 mo cowbell for BO12. Simple coincidence??? I don't think so. The mo cowbell gods have spoken.
