The toughest part of the install? THE FARKING ZIP TIES!!!1 *&$&&#&#(#(#&@@@)()(@@@*%$^%. I cannot believe how many parts it took just to put this purely cosmetic piece of plastic on the Train.
On a positive note, I ordered it primed, fully prepared to take it to my painter. I pull it out of the box, hold it next to the bike and it almost PERFECTLY matches! I brought the wife out to verify this (she's an artist and fashion designer) and she agreed.
Anyhoo, my last mod for a while... until I order the next headlight...
Looks real good. And, i know exactly how you feel about the install!!! Like you said, its crazy what you have to go through for just a simple looking mod!
