Took the old person saddle apart to get ready for the new leather . I had some 1/2" memory foam so I cut a piece out & glue it over the top of the old vinyl . A little more cush for the tush .

Is 'gator butt' anything like 'swamp a$$' ?

I've been needing a tail light for the Fink . Keep looking on line but can't find what I really wanted & if I do I don't want to spend that much on a tail light.
Soooo started thinking and looking through my odds & ends .

I use these LEDS a lot love them . There cheep easy & work great .
Kept digging and fitting things had a broken little head light for parts .

Also found this cool lid on a remodel job a couple years ago . I think it was a perfume bottle lid . Ive been wanting to do something cool with it . I think I finally figured it out .

All I need to do is make a bracket for it for the fender .

OH YEAH, you've gone beyond my imagination.

Thanks man I'm pretty happy with it . When i found that cap years ago it made me smile . I knew eventually it would make great bike part . I was thinking I would use it as a shifter knob & actually made one . I just didn't feel like it looked right & wasn't being use to its full potential. But now the light really shows off the Art Deco look . I believe Big Daddy Ed would approve . [emoji95]

Yeah, that light is Finkaliscious!
Now I have to keep my eyes open for perfume bottles at yard sales.

Believe it or not when I got on the site a few years ago . You were one of the guys that really opened my eyes to taking ordinary house hold objects & start mixing & matching them & turning them into one of a kind cool parts. I released always to keep an open mind use my artistic side & you can really come up with some one of a kind custom & cool stuff for usually pretty cheep . I may have $ 2.00 in to this light , a little time & a lot of fun .[emoji41]

I think he calls that "Doddadery" and that light is a great example. Nice job...

Went over to my old fateful buddy Eds welding shop yesterday. We made a short sissy bar . It will function as the fender bracket & the tail light holder . It will give it the bobber effect I want . He also welded up the holes in the fender for me . I Thank our Vietnam vets in more ways then one .

Again this is the look I'm after

You're gettin' real close to that 'look' G.....

Yes, that light is doodadery at its finest! Well done!

Yeah, if I could find a decent video I would insert Sheena Easton and Prince singing "U Got The Look"

Always love the visits to your man Ed's place. Great job on the sissy and killer look to go for. Looks like you're nailing it.

I knew I spelled that wrong but couldn't figure out what I did.

Thanks I also enjoy going to Eds shop . A great welder & just a smart guy he would do just about any to help someone out .
When it comes to spelling though i didn't notice lol . Definitely not my SpRongE point....

I been working on recovering the Pearson saddle. With some alligator leather . It actually cow hide embossed and dyed . I would think it a little easier to work with .
So I add some 1/2" memory foam over the old seat first .

I still need to put the bottom pan back in . I'm also thinking of having the springer frame powder coated when I have the bike done .

Awesome.
Wish I had some of that to cover the seat on JC Draggins.
