A finishing touch

Somebody else had posted pics af a radiator screen painted silver that I thought looked really sharp, so I took it a step further...



The "Ace of Spades" has been a good luck charm for me since I was a kid. The 215 at the bottom is my SCRC chapter number.

Thumbs up

I think that's the coolest mod I've seen so far. And what do you know......it's the cheapest too.

Nice work!!

That looks extremely cool - and I like it a lot.

For the more clueless of us (well me at least),

1. Anything special required to get the radiator grill out?
2. Could you advise what sort of chrome/silver paint you used?

I am one of the more cautious/not quite so fast riders so a grill with

Cap'n
Slow

would look quite nice (James May from Top Gear)

Yeah man a neat job. I like it. But what image or words could I use on mine? I would of course have to take into account my bike's name "Leroy". I think I know. "Harley Davidson sucks"
