She needs a lot of TLC, low mileage and she runs and handles nice.
I pulled 138 chrome covers off her and she looks pretty good underneath.
I’m thinking of replacing the stock chrome and wonder about the V-Twin line of cast iron and steel stuff from the net. Primary cover, Cam cover, tranny side, fork tins, fender struts, etc.
Are the aftermarket pieces comparable in function and appearance to stock pieces?
Not a show bike, just a bar hopper for me. She will be garaged, covered and pampered and won’t get many miles.
Also, what’s a fair price for prep and paint for the fenders and tank... not too rough, no dents, but some chips and rubbed up spots. Lacquer paint, or ?
I’ve never done this, so looking for advice to spend my bucks wisely.
I just had my tanks and fenders painted. Used some PPG paint my painter had left over. I pulled the tins and delivered them to the guy. $440 out the door. They look really great too.
