It's ostrich & "hammered metal" (silver). The color matches perfectly. Even the ostrich is flat in color besides the bumps that are shiny which helps tie in the shiny frame and other shiny black bits. Just looks so much better than the old seat cover. |

So I finally got the ceramiced exhaust pipes back. They looked oh so nice.
  And color matched to the tins perfectly  Put on the flanges and re-install the O2 sensors  Get the pipes & mufflers mounted  Another shot that shows you the color match  Then the satin high temp powder heat shields installed.    They will flatten out a bit after some miles... but it all looks good. I think the satin is a nice blend between the gloss back frame and other pieces and the matte finish paint   Each of the mufflers interfered with the last hole as you might be able to see. But there's nothing I can do about it now. I'm still happy with the look and the completion of the bike. |

Well after some concern about the bottle openers being either too soft or too hard (brittle) I decided to go with some brackets behind the openers. Just to be safe.
Drafted up this little thing  Ended up going with 1/4" stainless steel due to what we could find at my buds shop.  Grinded one end down to a more of a taper and cleaned up the edges from the band saw. Then took the tarnish off it (shown above and the lower bracket in pic below) because it looked a bit un-even after the bench grinder...  Installed. Put wires & throttle cables between this bracket and the bottle opener. Then used a grade 8 bolt on the bottom due to it's 5" length.

Of course, I'm a custom seat person. I had a Corbin color co-ordinated seat on my '88 V-Max.... Beautiful and personal statement imho.
