I been planing to get chrome. What you guys think of painting the electrical and battery covers red to match the tins?

Thanks

 

Thats exactly what I plan on doing to mine as well,........ The part number for the Fire Red Pearl is 98609BXY. I plan on doing my battery cover, electrical box cover and upperbelt guard.

Thanks, i wonder if someone could do that in PSP to let us see it?

 

hey keithb,

Was just gonna let ya know,....you cost me $$$ a couple of days ago,.... Because I saw your pic with those red plug wires I had to pick me up a set too,..... Gotta love this site,.........LOL


John

 

Your welcome [8D] They are only $12.95 HD SE

 

Yeah but while I was there I saw a pair of the shock tower covers that were discontinued and then got some chrome allen head plug covers ,...so in the end those $12 wires cost me $65,........LOL,... I think we need to start a Harley assessories spending therapy group.

I totally agree with you John!

Keith, I was considering painting a bunch of chrome and black stuff on my bike red to match the tins but I opted for anodizing unpolished aluminum parts black instead. So far I've got the levers and battery cover (I fabbed some alum. sheet to replace the chrome one) done, but this winter I've got plans for the triple trees and a couple of other small items. I am very interested in seeing the photoshop results on your bike, should look good, maybe even the frame?

 

KeithB,

Your not worried about it looking like a Metric w/ sidepanels?

 

I posted a while back about painting the covers, here's a photo where I have colored the battery cover Cobalt to match the tins, this was done with the Gimp not PSP.

I feel that painting the covers will tie your bike together. Make it flow. Look at a black bike and you will see what I mean. I do not agree with John on painting the upper belt guard. Everyone sees things differently.
