Default Update to custom airbrushed horn

Here it is installed. from a distance it's not too bad. He wasn't comfortable working with curves and it shows. I def like it but may seek a professional to redo it in the future. He was cheap and it was a learning experience for him. i still think it looks good all-in-all

Not bad, cool idea. Definitely have to know a thing or two about curves if you're going to do work on a bike...

I'd say just relocate the horn...In my opinion carbon fiber is more of an import car kinda thing. I relocated mine and just made something out of some steel and a gas cap to fill the void a little. Didn't want to cut the mount away and thought it needed something. I definitely like it better than the big cowbell though.

That looks sweet, I actually love the way the horn looks and am highly satisfied.

Horn cover looks cool, something different.

should have just scuffed and reshot the whole thing in the false carbon fiber, ditched the idea of pin stripe. tell him to do sections at a time when he is doing it. if he just tries to lay out the shelf liner it will not make the curves. cut smaller sections and just line those up as you work you way around the part. personally i would ditch the stripe, also i suggest that he work his airbrush in from the same point, it will give the shadowing that carbon fiber naturally has. very cool idea but that striping would drive me nuts... give him another shot man i bet he does 100% better. if he has any questions on it have him shoot me a PM or give me a call. i like to shoot the false carbon fiber... just a simple cool trick!
