Default Cheap wire covers and HOT toppers

well i wanted braided lines look without spending the $$$ and i wanted black... this is what i came up with and i hve to tell you it looks awesome! here are the pics...
I ordered from this company http://cableorganizer.com/wire-management/
and they where great to work with... even got the chrome for my project bike and it looks awesome as well! then just cut to lenght use a lighter to seal the ends by the cut, and put it on, then i used small zip ties to lock em in... i did everything i could wrap!

My brother also got me a hot topper kit! all black they look very smooth... i still have 2 bolts i have to cover right above the tranny cover but they really do clean it up!





and cause i keep getting asked... this is how low you can run with air shocks... will let you knwo that you do have to redo all the wiring under your rear fender if you roll this waythough... ride'n lowwwwww

I'm with jakeiniraq on the all chrome bolts. Mostly because the Toppers can be a real PITA when you have to remove them. What did you use to secure them Joe?

Damn, I've never used them because I had a couple buds that put them on and used a sealant similar to RTV and when they had to remove them, they had a mess. Someone's always making an easy job hard. Live and learn.

LOL...the funny thing about bikes is that if it is done up right with chrome in all the right places and there is some sort of plan to it, they look great. On the other side of the spectrum, bikes like yours that are so simple and clean, look just as awesome.

I've seen my share of bikes with mods that just don't flow and end up looking like there was no thought put into it.

Looks good man!

After too many chrome bolts of all brands peeling. Even on first install. It's Hot Toppers for me!
