Might consider blacking out the headlight trim ring so it doesn't stand out
so much... Here's an old picture of what it looks like on mine;

Not painted, but gloss powdercoat (hubcap as well). It holds up
just as well as everything else...

Here's a different angle (old but more recent than the previous) picture.

For black fangs, you might want to consider Paughco. Or JESCustomAccents.com.

I wanted something a bit different, and I was bored. So, I decided to try and reproduce some old Harley "Sergeant Stripes"

The jury is still out. I like them but I thought I'd try them out for a while to see what the natives think.

They are just that 3M stick on chrome, so if they have to go, they won't be too much of a pain to get rid of.

Now I have to get off my lazy *** and give the old girl a proper clean up.







I also did the old "Momentary toggle switch garage door opener" mod to the wife's Slim.

Nice add, but seems like it might be a bit 'awkward' to use in practice...

I chose the side of the console location for a black momentary button.
