Sounds like a cool idea! Post pics when done. I may steal that idea for my bike.

I'll take befor, during, and after pics.

I will say, Its pretty dis heartening to look out, and see my bike, only 300km on it, tore almost completely apart.

But its all in the good. It should be all sand blasted and stripped tomorrow night, maybe some of it powder coated.

I've gotta get down to the dealership to buy a new dash insert... Im still not sure wich one I want.
