The Sears Screamer shifter console has gone from a restoration project to an art one.
With all the screws in place, it was time to give this baby a new set o’ stickers. I would’ve gone the resto route, purchasing the Screamer shifter decals that Raleigh Ron sells (btw, he has virtually every decal imaginable for just about every musclebike manufactured), but I decided instead to take a road less traveled, and design my own.
I guess this was all spurned by the “Martini” shifter knob that the previous owner had installed. If that little detail hadn’t existed, then I probably wouldn’t have been as creative with the decals that I made for the shifter. But, as usual, blame alcohol for the loss of inhibition. I’m still wondering where the previous owner got that thing. Perhaps it was fate. I love gin martinis—they’re one of my favorite drinks.
So, I’m hoping to install this on the bike today, then next replace the “brake” decal on the parking brake lever. No rush on that, I haven’t figured out how to wire the parking brake yet anyway. For now it’ll just be for cosmetic reasons, but I’m gonna be sure to ask the forums.
