« on: July 21, 2006, 10:58:36 AM »
Just looking for what you think of these. These are to be one offs for my bike. I dont think I will be making more of these. Everything on these that is not black GLOWS when lit.

I like them.  I would like to see a pic of what they look like lit up at night.

I checked out your web page on swapping faces.  I have a 350-F  Do you have any replacements those?

If you do get to doing the 350F faces, let me know. I could use a set as well! ;)

Really nice! Would look even better if you lost the redline!

Still thinking that one through. I figure I would get these on a completed show Cafe Racer first then maybe release them when everyone is chomping at the bit. You know good marketing.

Sounds like a good plan 8)

They would be too colorful for my café, but if you would make a black/white edition without redline and perhaps without the small even numbers on speedo, I would definetly purchase.... :)

Oh, and scaled in kmph too, please!

Did not think of black and white KPH might be in the plan if I release them.

Actually, come to think about it, there seems to be no one making custom clock faces that reads in kilometers per hour.
Are we Europeans destined to only restore stockers?
Could be a good market for you, ElCheapo....

I´ll take 25% for the tip, thanks ;D

flaming skulls are always cool.  ghost rider being one of my first motorbike heros.
just for kicks though, could you do some gauge faces with cute pictures of kittens on them.  everything is so over the top testosterone and violence, i think it would be nice just to see a mock up of some big eyed kittens staring back at you from your gauges.  i guess the redline should then be pink and all the numbers in elaborate script. 
I want my 25% donated to the aspca if this ends up opening up a huge new market for you.
nice designs

My 4cents...

Make them in black and white, maybe with red numbers, and loose the flames (just keep the skull)

They are sweet though....
