View Full Version : Custom choke knob - what do you think?
Aussiegirl 26th January 2006, 06:44 Hi everyone,
I thought I would stick a couple of pics of my new custom choke know on here and see what you all think.
Im going for a diamond theme on the bike - diamonds are a girls best friend. So far Ive only got Some Arlen Ness diamond grips at the moment. Now this choke knob, and am working on a diamond theme on the seat
Any other diamond ideas would be appreciated also.
GOTWA 26th January 2006, 06:50 Very cool, very unique! :clap
Swankster 26th January 2006, 06:51 Pretty cool How about the pegs and taillight or better yet, rhinestones along the swing arm.

Ive put HD pegs on - just simple rubber and chrome. Im changing the shifter to a matchind diamond Arlen Ness peg.
Im a bit worried too many stones will look cheap and nasty. But I was thinking along the back guard. I have a solo seat so there are 2 chrome plugs and the bolt for the seat which could work with shiny rocks.
Im still trying to find a diamond taillight that will work. Ive seen a few diamond ones but often they are side mounted and I cant use that here.

Reaper6 26th January 2006, 13:58 Sweet! I love it when I see a scooter that someone has "personalized" to their own style. Will look forward to seeing what else you come up with.

:smoke I think that looks kewl. I also think that you could spend a lil bit of that money on my bike.:shhhh As for the Diamond theme, have you thought about getting the engine fins diamond cut?
883rnh 26th January 2006, 18:28 i think that is so cool on the custom choke knob

Remember I am not a guy!
KaotikEvo 26th January 2006, 22:28 some pics of the bike would be helpful for design ideas, but in an effort to not be too girly, you might try taking an old rhinestone or preferrably cubic zirconia bracelet or necklace and making a speedo bezel, a cz crusted white leather dog collar might work for the same purpose as well. you could also convert a white leather belt w/ diamonds into a fender cover (like a dash insert) . If you want pm me some pics and i'll shoot ya any ideas i can think of.

That sounds like a good idea. Is it expensive?

It cost me about $30 australian. Not sure what that translates to where you are. Just a couple of rings I picked up at a local costume jewelry place

mhamden 26th January 2006, 22:46 Looks preety cool, like the look. When its all done I think it will look sharp.
Shu 26th January 2006, 22:47 I LIKE IT!!!
I went for diamonds too, but mine are a little different style. check out the grips and pegs. :)

Loks nice - what about taking the little "reflector" tag holder screws, and putting diamonds in place of the red or blue or orange reflective centers???
