Lets talk sissy bars (Page 1/1)

I am only into this thing for a couple hours, but the rough-in work is done and I need to start ordering stuff.

The overall "motif" is going to make a difference in what parts I order.

The back of the seat is going to have a 24" sissy bar coming off of it, with a 3-d printed topper, which will match the headlight, tail-light and control-box cases. (stuff I order has to fit inside those case limits.)

Here is where I am lost. I don't want skulls, or iron crosses or any of the "usual suspect" chopper-type stuff. I need to think of something sort-of unique. Color scheme is royal blue and black, if that gives anybody any ideas. I thought of Alien Xenomorph but that's too much detail and flimsy thin parts for an application like this, it wouldn't last 3 months. Same with spiders/spiderwebs. 3D IS just plastic.

Hell, depending on what I can come up with, I might even mount the headlight inside the topper instead of the front.

NOW your talking !! Back to Xenomorph

Use just the tail on the sissy bar (tip and one or 2 sections), ribcage section in front of the seat for the controller, and the head up front with the headlight in the mouth, which gets rid of all of the fine detail stuff in the mouth area.

That will work.

<edit>

This guy has the perfect tail to use
