I was browsing the accessories section at AutoZone when I came across a steering wheel knob that had a nice chromed six shooter cap on it. It was only $8.95 so I bought it. Turns out the cap is not plastic but solid metal and nicely chromed. I cut my key and embedded it into the cap with epoxy. Only downfall is that the key no longer will open the gas cap nor the seat release. Since I always travel with a spare this won't be an issue for me.

Nice I like that.  I've been wanting to do Deerslayer in a gun theme but only have the .45ACP windshield stud replacements.  Of course I don't have an unlimited budget of money and time like the idiots at OCC but they do a good job on their theme bikes.  More artworks than reliable bikes, but their workmanship looks good.  Saw one in person at the Gateway car museum on the Western Slope Hwy 141 where it joins the Dolores River. I do have some gun theme embroidery Russell is doing for me on my new seat set.  Add several bolt-on gun parts along the lines of your cylinder and it might do it for me. I'm thinkin, custom grips like the stock section of lever rifles with the brass levers being brake/clutch; and a few other ideas... A couple 20mm rounds on top of the forks; bolt rifle bolts rigged as switches (hate to chop up perfectly good firearms - maybe the local gunsmith school has some junk parts)  Maybe find some 105 Howitzer shells at milsurp and make them into speaker cans. Might be something to occupy the winter months...

Maybe Jade would be OK with heading in that direction.  She IS a blank canvas, and being an old daytime hooker could use some sprucing up...
