Looks good, what did you pour in and did you spray tint it or is the filler tinted?

Perfect for that bike

That looks real good. I would be concerned with the brightness riding during the day though. The way people drive here, I would worry someone would run me over if I had to mash the brakes.

Can't quite tell what I'm looking at there.
Did you lay up a fiberglass strut cover?

Yeah I thought the same as well. I'll still have tail/brake light on my side mount license plate frame.

Thanks, I used clear epoxy, then sanded it down smooth and shot 6 coats of black kandy over it.

They're the factory strut covers just cut down a few inches.

I like. I always have a tough time with signals & mirrors on builds. I can see this taking off big.

I was thinking that bubbles in the filler might be a problem but with lacquer over it you probably wouldn't see any anyway

turned out damn good after the buff, looks like glass
