Gracias. I went over them with green scotch brite to give them that brushed aluminum or stainless steel look. Its pretty unique, I havent seen anyone else do it, although I hear about people doing it all the time...just never seen it lol

You know I was thinking the same thing. I had originally painted my battery cover and oil tank cover yellow as well...and it just looked off.. there was way too much yellow and it looked wierd. maybe later i'll post a pic with the yellow covers on. Anyway, I bought some used black covers on egay...and when they got here, the battery side was all scuffed up..the bike had been dumped...so I had to wet sand then polish to get all the haze out but the deep scratches are still there. Temporary fix for now I guess and it looks way better than having pristine scratchless yellow covers LOL.

Thanks! They are 9 inch solid struts.
My old man owns an indy shop that partnered up with a pair of custom builders. Sinners & Saints - El Super Guapo Kustoms Mcallen, TX. Anyway they machined the struts out of aluminum. They'll make you a pair and ship them out anywhere.

I would put something on it

I like yellow in the right shade with black to offset it like that but the tank looks too plain and sticks out to me

Not putting down your bike though

Solid struts? I'm baffled it really looked like shocks. Thanks for the info! How is the riding with struts?

HARD. I went for an around town ride yesterday after a month and my a$$ was sore for a bit.
