Lovin' that inverted lens! Looks cool, great job all the way around my friend.
Best of luck,

One of the front lights should be red, like a Terminator´s eye :shock: :shock: :roll: :wink:

Re: Frightliner- more lighting
Did I miss where you told about the Moon Style back wheel covers? I'd love to have a pair but have never seen them available.
Thanks,
Tim

Re: Frightliner- more lighting
VERY nice
You certainly have an eye for detail. Personally though, I would make those rear filler plates touch the rear fender. I would also cut a small piece to go over the triangular hole at the top, to create an enclosed section. That would give it a more streamlined look IMO. But to each their own! I can't wait to see it finished

Re: Frightliner- more lighting
Are these the 21" diameter ones at $75 each? (that means 2 per wheel = $150). ZOWIE, that's some flashy cash! Real Moons are totally righteous...but there's gotta be a cheaper way, I'm thinking. I wonder if some mirrored mylar could be vacu-formed...
Cheers,
Tim

Re: Frightliner- more lighting
I measured a 26" wheel and one would require approx a 23" circle to cover the open area in the center. Then I turned up these 24" aluminum pizza pans online at $23 each. I wonder if they might work?

Re: Frightliner- more lighting
Way to improvise The only issue that I can see would be that the pizza pans are probably not balanced. That would cause pretty bad vibrations at speed and they may fly off.

Re: Frightliner- more lighting
The moondisc have a OD of 22.5 and leave a bit of the rim exposed. They are thick and heavy (more than I was expecting x5) but they are very well engineered with some really decent hardware.
They are spun aluminum, I believe that this assures better balance and weight distribution. At the end of the day the bikes I build are for my son and/or daughter, so I want them to be safe to ride.

Re: Frightliner- more lighting
I am going to spray paint a set of these wheel covers, which seem to be made for 26" cruisers. $29.00 a set.
