Over the weekend I installed the "helping-hands" on the bars which will act as my mirror mounts. I drilled through the pipe and bolted the mounts in, hopefully they'll be strong enough hold the larger mirrors I have once everything is tightened down. Also, I found a cool horn to mount on the bars as well, for that extra eclectic look.
As for the mirrors themselves, we had a pair laying around the garage, but they were pretty rusty so I've been soaking them in rust-remover. This stuff is amazing, it eats right through rust without touching anything else AND it's reusable. Bad ass.
The last thing I started this weekend was construction on what I call "DaVinci wings," inspired by schematics of Leonardo's designs for flying machines, out of an old umbrella. I'm going to sew some canvas panels between the arms, add some starch, then attach them behind the seat somehow. They should look pretty sick!
