    Possibly, if you had 2. The symmetry is thrown (in a bad way) with one mirror, whereas the single asymmetric element of the shifter knob is a highlight. Weird how one element can tip the balance.

    PROBE DROID! Thank you! I knew the name wasn't right. I was like, "Why aren't any pics of this pulling up?" 🤣🤣🤣

    So I'm pondering another option, which is to mount two brackets horizontally, with the mounting point overlapped. This would tuck it in a bit closer (without covering the badge) and make it look less like an Assassin-Droid leg. 🤣

    I want it tucked in a little closer to the headtube, so I readjusted the mounting. The position of the light itself is much closer to where I want it, but the overall look is even worse than before. 😔

    Well it works, but I don't like it. Hmmm...

    Because this wrench is open on both ends, I tucked a rubber washer in between the teeth, then sandwiched it between two plate washers. This keeps everything snug and secure and eliminates a lot of vibration.

    Ok, trying not to get distracted... Time to figure out this headlight bracket. I think I'm going to use a similar technique I used on 'BALLOONATIC', by using a wrench.

    A luxury you afforded me. Thanks again

    It was a pretty quick decision once I tried them all. The 2 sets I had wanted to use initially just look too small on the bike. Functionally, there was no issue, but the proportions were off. It's such a small difference, but the Rollfast pedals are just enough larger to match the...

    As I prepare for riding, I realized I forgot to go over pedal options/decisions. A HUGE shout-out to @OddJob for the pedal selection. Before he reached out, I was working with these, and one pair I was considering robbing from a 20" I have in the wings. I scored 3 options from @OddJob 1...

    Working on the other handlebar today and some BEEtails for the tank. Here's a new highlight reel, while you wait 😁 🙌

    I WOULD NOT paint it or weather it. If you want patina on the tank, just grease it a bit. That way, it can be easily cleaned, later on, if you want the shine back.

    Thanks! It's the original badge to the frame. However, I replaced the screws. The originals are good, but I wanted to be able to tighten it down without issue, so ***tips and tricks alert*** I use cassette tape screws. They are the exact size of headbadge screws.

    It was a late night, but I also got the plate finished/mounted, and one handle bar as well.
