Decorative Bolts, spikes? WHERE TO FIND LOCAL?!

Looking for a set of 4 or 5 spikes to hold a piece on to my new fiberglass solo seat I made.  Looking for something like this:




but I was hoping I wouldn't have to order them online, maybe a local store anyone knows might carry something like this?  Size doesn't matter as I will be drilling whatever size hole needed and bolting them as accent pieces and they won't be holding anything other than decorative pieces.

Thanks,

Nick

There is a buell/harley shop by my wal-mart that I'm heading to right now to pick up my 1 hour photos I sent online, so thanks!  I'll try that right now.....Any other ideas while I'm out?

Thanks,

Ah, the things you immortal folks that never will crash can do to your bikes.

Have you considered attaching a chainsaw sprocket outside the main sprocket and running a 4 foot long chainsaw blade up behind your back? That would be badass....  :cookoo:

DoD#i, your idea was 3rd on my list....I'll try these and then get back to you.  maybe we can brain storm the best way.

Goth shop, no go.  Tried 6 or 7 different places (harley shop, suzuki dealer, cycle gear shop, even hot topic, an pep boys) but found what I was looking for at wal-mart.  they are listed as license plate holders and are anti-theft to boot!

The part that angered me was I went to wal-mart first to pic up some pictures I sent to 1 hour photo lab, then went to 6 or 7 other stores only to be refered back to wal-mart!  Should have looked when I went there first lol

I was gonna say we got 'em here at the Motorcycle Clinic but you already got 'em. I was thinking about doing them as windsihield mounts. If I did crash I don't think they'd end up in my body. but, with my luck you never know!

Mine are mounted on the fiberglass solo tail I made, and chances are if I wreck the tail will break long before the 1/2 inch spikes (which aren't sharpened) can puncture me.
