It looks great. Did you put simple drain holes in the MP3 player cavity for rain to drain out or did you route some kind of hose so the water runs out under the bike? I wish I had those kind of skills, I use velcro to hold my player on the console but it does not look as nice as I would like.

Hey Sincecrazy, noticed in your pics that your lowers are painted on the inside, how is that working for ya. Do your boots scuff up the inside at all. I am trying to decide if I should paint inside and out, or just do the outside and leave the inside black. Thanks

It works good for me. My size 8 is not too intrusive. Makes em easy to clean, and I like the look.

The only time my bike would be finished is when I sell it.

WOW, that is Great, and Dayum, I was wrong, the black color really sets it off. Great Job!! You ought to get a patent on that man, that's a money maker if I ever saw one.
