Default Changed a few things
I rewrapped the T-header, bobbed the front fender and took off my dryrotted fork gaitors


For my next project I'll be looking to clean up the rear fender by getting rid of the Motherwell rack and figuring out a way to carry stuff without scarring up my fender too bad.I'm thinking a strip of diamond plate down the back fender would be about right.

Thanks, I had originally planned on not re wrapping due to the rust I discovered under the original wrap job but I could not get a decent looking finish out of the rattle can high heat paint and the non dyed wrap just spoke to me.

I like the white wrap, and if you ever get tired of it you can just paint it black.

Love the wrap. Plan on doing mine this winter, along with some fender mods.&nbsp\\;You planning on selling the rack?
