Who might be interested in a CHROME MAIDENHEAD ORNAMENT ?
Price depends on qty so we need to get a feel for how many might be purchased.

This is a wax image, and the mfg are ready to create the mold.
The question is not what you look at...but what you see...

Sheesh, you sound like the Harley only repair shop that refused to replace a tire on my Valk!  :2funny:

(Sorry for the threadjack, that was just too easy, I couldn't pass it up!)

Very cool looking. Just curious, I know price is dependent on quantity, but ballpark (Estimate)? Talking 10's of dollars, 100's?

They will of course be CHROME and the price will be less than 100.
I would guess somewhere between $50 to 70 (this is just a guess)

In that case, I'm in...

I used to look at old car hood ornaments on eBay, wondering which one would go good on a Valkyrie...

Dag I assume that this price estimate does not include the cost of shipping from Norway?  If the total cost shipped is no greater than $100 US then I would be interested in one. 

How would they attached to the fender...drilled and tapped and fastened with a screw?

The design is 4 1/2 inches long.

Uhmmmm, what is that in mm's?



Yeah, I would be interested in one...would the base be curved, to fit the front fender, or flat, or do you know? Drilled and tapped, for mounting?

I put a poll at the top so you can register your interest.

A hunnerd bucks fer a shiny thang ta put on tha front fender!??

That would be pretty essspppeeennnsssiiivvvvvveee fer a werkin' man.  :o

(More feasible for a professional who is accustomed to spoiling his "fat lady.")  :evil: :angel:

Depending on the price, I'd be interested. Toward the high end of $100, I'd be reluctant and would do several other things first.  :-\

Toward the $40 to $50 range, I'd probably buy myself a birthday present (I'll be saving for the next couple of months).  ;)

Dag, put me down for one BUT please make the removal dead easy with the wheel / tyre still attached as it will have to be removed for the annual safety check.

Do you have a picture or a link to the Indian Head?

I believe they're referring to something like this:

That's a repo, but they were I believe originally on Indian motorcycles, and the face of the Indian lights up...

There isn't a "I'm interested, depending on price" option in the poll...  ;)

P.S.  He told you probably $50 - $70 (as a guess).   :)

The Maidenhead Fender Ornament looks pretty cool and I voted for one.
But scraping the internet tonight I found this:

Hmmmmmmmm........

I have always liked the Gem 710 Flying Goddess but they are no longer listed on the Gem website and current vendors want $30-$40 more than what Gem had them listed for. >:(

I like it. I would be a maybe. I didn't see the box to check that says "If my wife will let me spend the money after we find out the price." It depends on how much it is. They do look cool.
