Question

[QUOTE=offthewall;13291277]Now that looks decent but I still prefer the black. The chrome, not at all.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a post on here somewhere that showed this piece with a chrome mesh that goes behind the louvers? The inside is chrome while outside is black.

I swear I saw this somewhere.

[QUOTE=Kevinch;13291162]You need to change the way you wax - either don't go right up next to it, or mask it off./QUOTE]

Better yet, use S100 carnauba wax. It doesn't leave any residue on rubber or plastic. Great stuff.

Now THAT looks good Chip.


I'll do mine over the winter.


Daytona Blue Pearl ain't cheap either


The HD Color Matched Saddle Bag fillers looks nice, I think.

I really haven't done any write ups... I have had a few guys PM me asking how I did it... Made a template with cardboard... Rain Gutter cover from Home Depot and some rattle can paint. Couple of drops of silicone on the corners to hold it in place while I put the Faring back on.
