I would like to know this as well. What was done? Josewales, where are you? I know his PCer did it for his headlight visors.

While my bike is under the knife for the go fast goodies I decided to swap out some of the covers from satin to wrinkle black. My indy offered to take care of all that for me and today he called with some good news. He has a full set of covers in the shop that he took off another build and he's going to just swap me for my satin covers, no charge. Wohoo!

He also said the pistons should be there in a day or two so the work can finally start. Decided to keep it simple and am doing a 103 with 259e cams. Between that, the intake, exhaust, and tune it should wake the bike up quite a bit. The next few weeks are going to take forever...

Get the back of the bike off the ground so the tire can hang. Try and work it up in there and get one of the studs through. Grab onto it with something to prevent it from falling back. Then try to swing the other side up and through. It's a pain but can be done.

Hey man. Chrome guy actualy did them. They didn't come out a perfect match, but pretty damn close. Under a low light, I noticed the difference in texture and looks more flat. Once I get it in the sun, will see...might have to black out the forks afterall if it doesn't look right being so close to compare.

Btw just got notice that Samson is shipping out my special ordered black baby cholos w/ simple chorme tips on April 3rd (last step before I get her home). The Lepera black distressed Sonora seat should be on it's way now also. Need the seat in my hands before I order the boss bags to match.

Same thing happend to me, use mech wire or a coat hanger, fish it down and wrap stud and slowly fish it back up, works like a charm

You don't seem to be in a real hurry, so I take it that it is still winter up there in your area of Cananda?
