thanx..that color is closer than what the original photo showed..

they are more of a MATTE BRASS/GOLD if that makes since....

Daddyknuck, that is what i was going for SOMETHING DIFFERENT..thanx

I have a buddy give me **** over them and he has a ROCKER...nothin against the Rocker, casue i like them as well..just a controversial bike to have and knock me for brass pipes..haha

 

A lot of guys don't have the imagination to look outside the "standard" custom items the MoCo sells. If your bike looks like everyone else's, how do you find it in a crowd?

 

those seats are bada$$ and the more i see beach bars, the more i like them...

little off topic..I wanted to remove the transmission end cover and do it the same cover as well but was a little unsure of the steps to do so..

Do i need a new "paper" gasket if i remove it and does the clutch cable actually have to be disconnected where it goes into the cover?

 

Looks good!

 

You probably won't need a new gasket. I tend to keep using a gasket until it leaks. Even once it starts to leak, a thin smear of Yamabond will normally give it a new life.

You can probably remove the cover, use tape and paint around the cable, but why bother? You need to loosen it to have enough slack to get the cover off, and removing it is not much more of a deal. Plus there is no doubt some oil resideue you're going to want to clean off. DON'T pry the cover off!! Unbolt and it should wiggle off. If it doesn't whack it with a rubber mallet.

 

Ahhh, the old Whack-it with a Rubber mallet trick.

 

I wrapped mine around the heat guards, no problems at all. My pipes are Samson Rip Saws. You definately have an interesting color going there, but I would wrap the pipes to break it up a bit, especially if you're going to paint more parts the same color. Heat wrapping is pretty easy as well.

 

thanx...did u wet the heat wrap before wrapping?

can u go a bit into detail!

As for other parts, the center portion of the air cleaner should be done tomorrow as well as fabbing the chainlink sissy bar...Progress pix will come to follow!

 

Nice wrap job. Looks great!!
