Trim strips: what holds'em

[Sidecar]

I've looked at pictures of stock pans that have the stainless trim strips on the front and rear fenders. Since I've never really seen one with them on it, I have to wonder what holds the strips in place ??

(These are the trim strips on the sides of the fenders)

Little wire clips.
The look like a figure eight where they slip sideways into the trim, but then the ends stick down perpendicular, into a sprung 'bulge', to snap into drilled holes in the fender.

The 50's strips on the front Glide fender are T-bolts. You have to work the T-heads down with a file, on the ones near the tip-end. Let me know and I may brief out the measurements on the re-pop site, if no one else has the info. Mine look OK. Somebody might be able to improve on what I did once they see it.

Thanx for the info.
Doesn't sound like something that I want to add to my bike. Too much trouble !!!!!

And a lot of dollars - have you seen the price these things go for? I'd be afraid to have them on my bike for fear of having them nicked.
Anyone wanting to make a fortune should manufacture nothing but sargeant stripes and 50th Anniversary badges for the '54...
Don't they reproduce these items?

Cheers,

Why don't we try here to reproduce these fender badges, i'm sure in the numerous of members of this board someone could have the facility to do it, no ?
