after seeing the tank badge mod.

I trimmed out both front and rear fenders, the gas tank seam, and my one quarter fairing with the door edge molding idea from Shades.

I also played around with some other exterior molding on one of my saddlebags to see what it would look like as well as a tank stripe. I removed both shortly after as the bag looked kinda cheap and still not sure about the tank stripe.

All this is so easily removable I thought what the heck, see what it looks like.

Hope it's not too cheesy!

Well, I think the stuff on the tank goes with the chrome on the engine. not sure I would do it on a TBS or a Legend, I also agree with taking it off the bags. Other than that, it's still a good looking bike

It looks good and nicely extends your black/chrome theme. It might be a bit much for any other color than black ...

TBH I hate chrome, so maybe I should refrain for comment! :wink:

Not my cup of tea but I dig it plenty!!
Reminds me some how of a classic air cooled 70's Beemer. And that is not a bad thing!

That was my thought as well - looks like an old R90S.

You definitely brought the bling to your bike, t-birder.

I like it. I hate to say this, reminds me of the Road King scheme.

I'd leave the bottom strip on the bag and look at it again. Also, maybe the vertical part of the piece that wraps from the bottom across the front of the tank. I'd black out the fairing mounting screw and washer too. And a chrome something around the license plate to go with the theme.

But that's me if I had this theme going. Looks like it all fit well.
