I was waiting to hear about this Jim. Thanks. Looks awesome!
yeah what he said.. and no problemo. Aside from each pair being $35 (so $70 total plus tax), i'd try to tint the lenses again, but I dont feel like mucking everything up for a second time. Though the visors kind of give the bulbs a shadowed look, so even though the lenses are pretty clear (by my standards), they still look a bit dark which is what i like.

i suppose i could always go buy a piece of like 15-20% tint from PepBoys or something and just cut out a strip.. but that's too much work for something like that.

You could always use the spray tint, I used it on my brake light came out great, they say if you mess up, wipes off with alcohol....just a thought

Spray tint is the heat! I use that ***** on everything. I think it looks nasty on my bike all blacked out. With some 2500 grit it looks flat like the denim paint.

I think you need to buy some of those for me and drop them in the mail.

Haha I already screwed up one set of lenses using the spray tint.. when the lights were off they looked awesome, but as soon as any light shone through them you could see all the blemishes and nastiness.. and I did everything everyone said too.. used multitudes of sandpaper in increasing fineness (started at like 800, then 1000, then 1500, then 2000).. hit it with some clearcoat and cleaned everything up nice..etc etc, mine still came out looking like butt. and if you want to get that crap off, i found that mixing Mineral Spirits with Premium gasoline does the trick.. makes your hands nice and soft too haha.

Just paid Ł70 for them over here, must be the Harley exchange rate. Had the bike back at the dealers to day and finally got the vance and hines system fitted, it sounds awesome especially on the overrun, did not expect that was def worth the wait.
