Would it be possible to somehow make a 3 speed shifter into 3 way toggle switch?

Got my spinners all finished today and thought I would show the process.

Finally decided to get off the couch today and do some priming. I got the frame and tank primed and started sanding the chrome fenders. Can't wait to hit all of this with Apple Red.

Despite how long this process may take me, at least it gives me something to do while I save up for some plastic and wait for my springer fork.

D'oh! It just occurred to me the front fender is missing one of the mounting brackets. Looks like I'm gonna have to dip into my plastic fund and pick up a new one off ebay.

Are you referring to one of the fender braces? If so, I believe the rear only requires one after the skirt guard is attached.

Okay, I think I get what you mean, the skirt guards would connect to the wheel like the braces would?

Here is the back of mine. The skirt takes place of the front fender rod.

In that case, looks like you just saved me six bucks.

After a long day, I decided to hit the frame with some paint. Pretty good so far, but I just realized I'm out of white for the tank. I'll hopefully get the fenders sanded and painted by the end of this week.

Since I'm not using a screen accurate frame anyways, I actually plan on having the side bags mounted to the rear rack for easy removal if ever needed. But that indeed solves my fender problem, however it'll take me a while to get the rivet off.
When re-attaching the brace to the front fender, would a pop rivet do a good job of holding it on?

On your bike they had rivets.... I would just nut and bolt them back on.

Imagine my confusion upon looking at it for the first time.

It's because of that that I've decided I'm only allowed to assemble the bike if I'm dressed as a clown doctor.

What's the correct thickness of the tubing?
I don't have any idea what the actual size is or what they used, all I know is, it is bigger than standard bicycle brake cable, I would venture a guess of 8mm or 5/16"?, here is a pic I saved from a real prop bike that recently sold on Ebay:
