I cannot tell you how many compliments I have received when people see the Arrowhead Seat Bolt Cover. Many people at Biketoberfest asked where I bought it.
Thanks to the guys who shared their ideas.
My wife always tells me that I am an obsessive perfectionist who is never satisfied and constantly trying to improve upon perfectly acceptable designs. Well I believe I have outdone myself this time! Until I come up with something better.
Here are some pictures of the newly redesigned Seat Bolt Cover. I like it so much, I will be replacing mine with the new design!
Changes:
1. I mounted the washer on the bottom of the arrowhead instead of the top. This allows the Indian pin to sit flush. It looks much better and holds stronger.
2. The washer is now attached with stainless steel screws. I drilled and tapped the pewter and applied thread locker.
3. I machined an exact fitting hole for the magnet. With the washer on the bottom the magnet holds much tighter and because it fits so perfectly, there is no longer a need for a "pin" to keep it from rotating. It just "snaps" in place.
4. I came up with a better solution to the vinyl bumpers. The Bolt Cover will come a nylon washer. The washer sits on the threaded insert on the fender and keeps the arrowhead from scratching the paint.
It is a bit labor intensive and the extra parts added to my cost a bit but I think it is a much better design. This first one is already spoken for but I will be offering these for sale. If you are interested in purchase, let me know. Please keep in mind that these are hand made and are labor intensive. I will make them as fast as I can to fill any interest.
The cost will be $50 plus shipping as long as I can get the parts for the same price point.
Additional features and options:
1. I apply 2 coats of Gold Leaf enamel. I then apply 2 coats of lacquer to the top and bottom of the arrowhead as well as the Indian pin for protection.
2. I can make them different colors or leave the metal bare.
3. I can add different pins or coins. You may have to send me what you want.
