Cool Cheap Bling.....
Probably already a common thing, but anyway, here's a cool idea I discovered. I went and bought some 3/8" chrome door trim from the local auto-parts store. It comes in an 18' coil. I started putting it around the lids on my tour-pack and bags, and am gonna do the fairing tomorrow. Man, talk about cheap chrome, and it really looks classy!!! I will put up some pics tomorrow.

I used the stick on plasti-chrome door edge strips to trim around the sharp edge of the license plates (tags to youse).
