One part is smooth, the other part is grooved for a flathead scewdriver. Smooth side to the back. They are even made with decorative engraving on copper, aluminum or nickel if you want that little extra something. -WD

My solution:

:which replaced the "Suzuki" emblem.

1. Saw the crossbar off, file smooth, a dab of aluminum paint to match close enough.

2. Use it to mount a small leather tool pouch.

3. Mount a couple of 2.4GHz band antennas, run the coax under the rear seat.

4. mount a couple of spinners from pinwheels.

5. Attach a Fox Tail.

6. Attach a small dream catcher.

Hi Palladin, any better pictures of your antenna and the spinners? And, what are they for? just looks?
thanks,

RW

I know that, Pal... but my question was what was the antenna and the coaxial for.. any kind of cable TV service on 2 wheels? like watching the Simpsons and riding at the same time Grin

anyway, foxtails are not in my fan list...

Take care,

RW
