Just because :idea3: hehe. Today I took apart the tail section in an attempt to remove that hideous plastic fender. I have a ' ken's fender eliminator' kit on the way - but since it isn't here yet I thought I'd see if I could re-engineer things myself while I wait. So I took all the plastic junx off and what was left was kind of an industrial looking metal bracket. Like it! It was an unsightly green color though so...
Off to the hardware store to purchase some paint - I ended up getting a black metallic paint that nearly matches the bike! PERFECT!
Apply much sweat. Paint. More sweat. Then, all back together with a few spare parts woot! Stood back and looked at it - it looks pretty dang fantastic (for what it is)! I just wish Maryland had smaller license tags for motorcycles. Cuz, it would look teh hawt stuffed up between the exhaust cans.
And on that note, we'll see what the fender eliminator kit looks like when it arrives. But for now - not bad! Total cost --- $4.99 for the spray paint and an hour's worth of sweat and swearing. That's it! LOL. Here's what it looks like. Whaddya think?
