It's worth checking when the members above last posted. Your namesake mikelikesbikes last posted in 2015, so you may not get replies from the chaps above - this post is 6 years old!

I just did the bad dad tank cover, it took quite a bit of work to make things line up. Great people to deal with.

Looks sick though. Are you bonding them first and then paint ? Trimming was straight forward ?

Got everything trimmed and fitted then glued them on. You might wanna have a extra tube of the bonding adhesive, I almost came up short on the second side.
Trimming just took some time, paint last for me.

I have a 2012 Ultra (Vivid Black) and ended up going with an Advanblack Tank Shroud (it bolts on instead of glue). I am yet to put it on, but will add pics once installed.
