The matching side tins would really set that bike off. Wish it was mine. LOL, Yes I know, go buy one.

They sound OK, but I would like a little louder.

Getting paint on the side is not out of reach. Base coat for the red is Vivid Black, which the panels already are. I need to find a painter locally willing to take it on.

I think the dealer can get them already painted from the factory for you. I know I've seen em before.

I asked, but maybe not insistent enough. I considered the chrome covers in the catalogue, but they don't fit '14 and later.

Wow! You did a fine job on that set up. I just have no imagination. So mine look like they do on the show room floor.

love the upgrades so far,


love the rec & black combo,


is it possible to get the side covers to match the red? for the customs they were only like $170 from the dealer. they would look so good on your bike. then could sale the black ones & get most your money back.
