    What do you think of this? (more pics)

    I like it.

    Gotta make another set though. I used soapy water when I applied them so I could position them perfectly but it messed up the adhessive. I might put some up on ebay once I get them as perfect as I possibly can. Seemed like a simple thing (making a template to use) but it was actually a little harder than I expected it to be. I think it'll look a lot better once I get the seat I want on there too.

    That looks awsome, you have to make one for a 1985 honda 125m becasue i have a cracked fender and that would fix it perfectly. looks sweet

    I am asuming that it is real diamond plate. If it is, Do you think the added weight will break the fenders while riding?

    Now if it's just stickers that look like diamond plate, then I think your on to something. I do like the look of them.

    It's a vinyl decal. I tried the real stuff but it won't flex with the fender properly.

    Hmmm, I wonder if you could wrap a 350x Headlight shell with that stuff? I got one that don't look pretty as it is ( faded ). A Diamond plate look would spruce it up drastically.

    Those diamond plate decal rolls are pretty cool. I bought some recently at a street rod car show and it's amazing just how realistic the diamonds shimmer in the sunlight just like the real thing, without the weight! I bought if for my machines also.

    Good taste!

    Momma always said if you don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all. I don't listen to her much so sorry, they don't float my boat either.

    hey dammit I thought those shrouds were blue? I personally like the diamond plate. It looks real.

    I like it because its shiny, and anything shiny is good by me. BTW what kind of grab bar is that I would like to get one for my Tecate.
