1 Fun with city cases Fri Apr 05, 2019 11:10 am

As many of you know I'm a big fan of city cases, especially when coated with Line-X truck bed liner.
But they're kind of boring so I decided to "Duckify" a set of them.
Bought these lovely "vintage" brass wall ducks on Ebay for a mere $11 shipped. (They're just cheap old crap from Taiwan.)
Of course patina'd brass would look rather stupid on a motorcycle so I had them ceramic coated in a matte silver before I installed them.
And I found these old white but tired police city cases from the UK for a mere $140 shipped. Aside from the distressed paint they were in excellent shape and even came with two folding keys. Nothing a little Line-X wouldn't cure.

BMW roundels are rather boring so I found these little metal SAC (Strategic Air Command) emblems for next to nothing on Ebay.
