I got these rusty parade bars but I was informed that I would not be able to use them with my springer. What do they know?
With the parade bars on I guess I am ready to throw these Schwinn scripts on there too. Big Update!
This electric horn photographs better than it looks in person, it's pretty heavily pitted. I wired it up on this end but am waiting to find a button for it.
So cool! I've been waiting to see this build really take off...and it has. The parade bars idea is too cool, and the horn, light...everything is coming together, together in a very hoodride fashion, super cool.
I managed to snag a horn button but I haven't seen it in person yet. Not sure how its going to size up but it's white and bakelite so I took a chance. Probably going to have to make it work regardless as I am running out of time.
Tons of cool ratty goodness going into this build.
Still debating on placement of the horn button but I have to admit I have been holding out on you guys a little bit. I have another double secret bit of inspiration that I plan to incorporate into the build. It will be the last thing I put on the bike but I have a few other things to build around it first. Guess I will start with this.
I knew going into this build I was going to have to get educated on wiring for the light but I also had to get wise to stitching leather.
Next up.... need something under here.

Ooooooooo....The suspense.....you can cut it with a knife.....
That is an excellent guess but no it is not a knife.
It wasn't a guess, but that narrows it down....just a bit! 
Couple things come to mine for those two circles. Turn signals, railroad signals, or flashers
Horn button is finally squared away...
...and CThomps hooked me up with a little something for under the seat.

Lots of cool goodies here!
That's a cool cyclinder. What was it originally for?
WORMS! Hard to read in the pics but is says Bob-Bet Bait Box.
That worm bait box is a great addition. Figures Chad would have one, coming from a big stream fishing locale as he does. That would clip to your belt for easy access as you bushwacked back to your favorite fishing hole.
I've got one from the days wetting a line with my grandpa, little different shape.....

Another little do-dad to add.
Holy carp! Is the leather doodad a fishing pole mount? The bait box, the scale, it all starts to come together. If I'm right that is super cool.
