Dressed up the ends of the sissy bar with some of the silver salt shaker caps.

That seat spring gives it some much needed length. Now fits the bike a bit better I think.

Hahahahaha. OJ wins the prize! I've had these from way back when Electra had their big blowout sale. I tested one and liked how well it looked.

Is the prize a pack of Electra pinstripe decals?

Wow, you had me going with the stripes! They look really good on the Gumby parts.

Haha someone beat me to calling you out on the pinstriping. But it looks great. And i second the early harley look. Id roll it

I am very happy with the Electra stripes. I couldn't resist pretending like I did them, but if you notice, I did make the original post with a winking smiley.

I can hardly keep up with all these doodads. But I must say the salt hammer caps[emoji6] are a perfect fit on the sissy bar & the spring was meant to be , nice fit . [emoji1303][emoji1303]

I spent way too much time building up the More Cowbell bell. It does make some noise, but honestly it's more of a cool looking doodad than anything.

It was fun posting all of that today. To be honest it was brutally hot with a heat index over 100. I needed to space of the courtyard to install and look at the pieces, but I was drenched in sweat the whole day. I would take breaks to sit in front of my shop fan and post the latest update to the doodad channel.

Well I finished Rockafella around 730pm tonight and took it out for a ride while I still had a little bit of light left. First time out with @karfer67 's Felby bars and they not only look incredible, they were in a perfect riding position. I LOVE THESE THINGS!!!

I went for a good 2 hour ride playing around with some dusk photos.

I made my way over to Bobbies Diner just for @OddJob because he had said he couldn't wait to see this fifties build in front of it, so here you go Lee!!!

Couldn't believe how quiet the park was.

Got this cool reflection shot

How do you guys like my trailer hitch doodad?????

Fountain pic

Fun nighttime shot

Marilyn is all flustered about Rockafella!!

The name of the musical at the Savannah Theater is "Return to the 50s" which is more than appropriate for this build.

 

[kingfish254]

These aren't my final pics, these are just me having a blast with my latest trophy. I sure everyone else is enjoying riding their trophies as well!!!!

 

[OddJob]

Love the Bobbies shot! And, you have some great pics in that line-up, can't wait to see who makes the 'final cut'.

 

[G-Matt]

Some cool pictures KF . I've always been a fan of the Bobbies Dinner my self . I think I said it before but the one way sigh in a he back ground is a nice touch . The Marilyn shot is pretty cool also .

Had an awesome time today riding around for over 3 hours taking pics and talking about my "old bike" with tourists and locals. Met two French families, one Belgian, one German, and one French Canadien. I love my city!!!!!

Spent the second half of the day working and taking care of something at one of the new rentals. I have a lot of pics to go through, but I will get Rockafella posted up in the Finished section on time.

I can't wait to catch up with all of the finished bikes too. It's been another fun build off! Thanks brothers!!!
