Just a thought bro.

I can get some acrylic on my paint code made in a aerosol. I would just pull the 4 screws underneath and fully remove the upper, but if I did do it the tweeter area would get sprays uniformly or I wouldn't even consider it. I clocked my left bag 880 180°so my connection was same location and the logo pad were in correct position. Maybe down the road I may mess with it. Just ready to be done for now.

Finally done. Bike turned out pretty good. No ☀️ today so can't show off the paint, but just glad to be done. 6hrs buffing, machine polish, hand glaze to get the paint as smooth and deep as possible​ plus removed all the marks from assembly. Will have a few vids when I get my rear tire replaced and can get it out of the garage.

Amps mounted and wired. Have it a little cleaner and tied up neatly

Thanks guys. The tank is a yaffe genuine metal tank. Was nickel plated, then red kote inside. Pain in the rear to get the pump and sender swapped but if I had to do it again​ would be much easier after doing it now.

That is an awesome looking bike Sly! Everything just flows together seamlessly. I love the look of that LePera seat, I tried two of those, best looking seat out there in my opinion, but
they were just too firm for me at the time. Now seeing your bike makes me want to try again but I'm afraid if I did I would be single! Not ready for that yet.
