DIY Motorcycle part taps

[smee44]

I am finally getting around to making some custom tap handle out of old motorcycle parts I have laying around. Thought I would share the connecting rod taps I finished this weekend. I have plans to do some cam shaft taps and a shock or shock spring tap. I hope by sharing it will motivate me to continue make more.

Very cool. I was thinking about doing some out of old grips. I will look forward to seeing the others.

Very nice! Did you clearcoat them in anything to prevent rust?

That is way cool. Reminds me of some of the cool decorative things they did with parts at the Harley-Davidson Museum.

And I think you've inspired me to put faucets on the front of my Danby fridge!

I have not clear coated them at this point. I wanted to see how quickly they start to rust to decided what finish to use. Thanks for the comments.
