Default thanks

hello

thanks guys, it does look a little strange but it covers up all that front end ugly mess thats the speedo and the crappy, tiny little risers. i think it needs to be olive or black to match either the frame and engine guard bar or the black denim of the tank.
never really did like the speedo just setting up there. looks strange.
But, to each his own, its so ugly its growing on me.(maybe like a tumor).

thanks

Krylon Rust tough (semi flat black) and a can of primer. End result is GREAT. I did it to my oil tank and bars, and rear turn signal mounts. Can never go wrong with flat black. You could always do it semi flat black and put an olive green stripe down the middle.
