I think the Iron Cross on a motorcycle is played out.  I wouldn't put one on my Harley and especially not on my Ducati.  It's tacky.

The whole Iron Cross  thing on motorbikes is ridiculous................the big deal back in the day was iron cross mirrors and iron cross tail lights for the chopper boys. I remember those days and am glad they are so long gone!

The iron cross is NOT a Nazi thing.  Yeah, they used it.  But it wasn't the symbol of the movement, and they didn't come up with it.

To put it simply, it was given to badasses in the German Army for being bad asses.  

That's what it has to do with motos... they harley guys wanting to be bad asses Tongue
The Iron Cross was a medal of honor of the German military from 1813 until 1945 not only for the WWII.

Yeah, I remember iron cross stuff on choppers back when I was in grade school in the '60s.  By the time I was riding in the late '70s (I was then still interested exclusively in H-Ds) I was surprised to still see them flying around on bikes and thought them lame.  Still not my cup of tea.

If you have customers asking for them than I would say that it is a quality looking piece to offer.

Yeah, true.  And I guess if I was from Malta I would probably have one on my bike somewhere.  Maybe not.  If you go back far enough you'll find I'm from Ireland, but I don't have four leaf clovers on my bike.

That would require a full fledged scheme I believe, to pull it off. Maybe some speakers blaring flogging molly as well.
