Just looking for some feedback on my new chrome paint job. Whatcha all think?!?!





I'm not big on chrome on sport bikes, but that really looks good. And the chicks will probably dig it...Actually the front fairing, windshield, fender and tank have been chrome for 4 months and they look the same as the day i put them on. No swirls or haze. The side and tail we just did last week. This isn't spray chrome, This is done using the same technology they use on car emblems. If you notice car emblems don't fade or haze, even after many years and many winters.If you dig it, that's all that matters. To me it looks lke those cheap supermarket motorcycle toys, that the manufacturerers do up in chrome to catch the ADHD 4 year old's eye. Show us again in 6 months after it gets all hazy from riding it.
How does it hold up under spirited riding? Does it flex much? How do you secure it to the axles so that it doesn't want to rotate? It is a bit intruiging....Ya, I run a plastic chroming company so we have a few sets. I just do a spare one soon as the auction is won or sell mine and do a different color schemei seen some some fairings for sale on ebay they look the same, are u selling yours?![]()
The plate is a bracket I make. Here's a pic from the other side. I shot it with black paint though so its not so visible and gives that floating look. I posted it a while back but didn't get as much positive feedback as I woulda thought. The local guys are loving it though. The pic doesn't really do it any justice anyway.
Well I can wheely almost 12 o'clock and it doesn't touch. It doesn't really flex all that much, slight vibration on big bumps. you hold it in lpace while you tighten the original axel nut on but you can't put the cutter pin back. It doesn't rotate once its tightened in place.How does it hold up under spirited riding? Does it flex much? How do you secure it to the axles so that it doesn't want to rotate?

Looks good but I still like Russ's betterCame out nice bro, however I would move the tag. Thats one thing that makes 1K's look mean is the fat tire and that tag blocks it.![]()
