My Newest Little Thing



























     
          Sometimes I see some little thing that makes a big difference. In this case I saw these replacements for the rear axle nut cotter pin and decided "now that's custom."

     A custom motorcycle is really a load of parts made by others and assembled in an order makes the bike look just right.

     A lot depends on little things that most people wouldn't even see. Sort of like an inside joke between the owner and himself, but I've got to say it's pretty satisfying when someone does notice one of those little things.
























     

     
     
            My newest "little thing" is a chrome rear axle nut spring. It's made by a company called Colony. A cotter pin costs maybe 50 cents at most. These are 3 bucks a piece. Now that's truly custom.
