That looks nice, good job. I like that silver plastic. A grafix kit and matching seat would really set it off. Hows that plastic fit? :D

It did not turn out to bad. Not bad for a 2 week project though. Their were some short cuts taken not by my choice though as the machine is not mine. :cool:

The silver plastics with the green frame actually seems to work really well. I was skeptical at first, but the finished product is a nice reverse that flows nicely.

I dont think the owner wants to use graphics, but I think it could use something to transform it from K to wow.

A black and silver custom cover is being made for the seat. We went with black tank cover to go with the black headlight shroud and to blend with black on the seat, Sorta like a stripe.

Dont even get me going on the plastics!!! :mad:
They fit like shiet and its sad as I would have went stock as they were around $100.00 cheaper.

3 and 1/2 fricken hours drilling, aligning, etc trying to get them to fit somewhat correctly. Add the time on top of the additional $100.00 to buy over stock and I think I would have painted the stockers Silver.

Oh well, its done and they are on and they work.
