Hey guys
Some of you must put this accessory to the connie.
I have only seen the boys in Germany
I attached a picture.
These hoops chrome or stainless steel for gauges

Where does one get those?

charliespain · « **Reply #2 on:** December 08, 2011, 12:48:46 PM »

That is my question?
In Germany, a C14 owner designed them.
Ask my friends in the United States if Connie had seen in some C14
Would have to measure the diameter of the clocks and locate

I hope more answers or solutions

Some years back I test drove a Triumph Trophy that had chrome bezels on the gauges. It seemed that no matter which direction in was driving, I got a terrible sun reflection that nearly blinded me. At the time I felt that it was a big enough contributing factor that I ended up not buying the bike.

This is gonna get good. They may be the same size as the Harley Rings.

Can You attach tassels to them?

Maybe with the silver concho feature...

charliespain · « **Reply #9 on:** December 09, 2011, 04:08:38 AM »

You can find them at a store in the United States?

VirginiaJim · « **Reply #10 on:** December 09, 2011, 04:10:57 AM »

I've never seen them for sale here specifically for the C14.

charliespain · « **Reply #11 on:** December 09, 2011, 04:37:24 AM »

Hello VirginiaJim
Maybe not specifically for the C14 sold in any shop, but ...... there are many people with imagination and means to achieve them.
But you step its construction schemes that have happened from Germany if any C14 owner is encouraged to make them.

regards

VirginiaJim · « **Reply #12 on:** December 09, 2011, 04:57:17 AM »

I'm going to take a giant leap of faith here but I would think the majority of owners of the C14 here are somewhat adverse to chrome on this bike. As one of our members said, glare could be an issue with the rings and then you have to keep them clean....not for me at all. But what the hey, someone might want to 'make' them, but I just don't see any payback or people lining up to buy them. One might find these rings designed for another bike that would fit ours, though. Just sayin it wouldn't be one of the most popular farkles we've seen.

I got a "touch" of red on my neck

and if they were reasonably prices, I would put them on my C14. I think it looks good, makes the instruments stand out. From the picture they don't look chrome but a stainless steel finish.

ljcorby · « **Reply #14 on:** December 09, 2011, 06:14:06 AM »

So who's going to attempt to make them? I don't have the talent for that.

Damn, the rim of my coffee cup is 4mm too small...

wally_games · « **Reply #16 on:** December 09, 2011, 07:53:54 AM »

Now, if they were in black chrome... ...

Or, maybe in a color match to the handlebars. Just something that is anti-glare.

ZedHed · « **Reply #17 on:** December 09, 2011, 09:22:38 AM »

I bet you can get them from the same guy who makes the ape-hangers for the C14.......

556ALPHA · « **Reply #18 on:** December 09, 2011, 12:54:05 PM »

I actually like the look in stainless, if the price were right I would try a set. I just had the idea ape hangers and tassels would be coming soon.
