Yup, took them off, scotchbrited them always going in the same direction and reinstalled with some 3M tape. I also did the sides of the letters to really get rid of the shine everywhere but you could also just do the faces to leave a little contrast. It started as prep work for painting them black but I really liked the look and asked my friend his opinion, he liked it as well so I went back and smoothed them up going in the same direction. Up till now I haven't seen ones like it. Guess that'll change... :-)

As promised Spinger... I told you my saddlebags where at the powder coater. I put these on today just for you!!!! LOL!!!!

First off your bike looks sweet and sinister! But i have to ask why does one side look like a satin finish and the other gloss? And your most recent photos show chrome rocker box covers?
