I had a set of low mount microns on my SuperHawk when I sold it. They were black fading to red. Anyway, that finish on them is amazing. I though they would be a bitch to keep clean but it was one of the easiest finishes and it never stained from the chain spooge or road grime. Nice product. :goofy: :beer:

The 3rd gen had a big collector box. The 4th gen doesn't. And neither have cats.

Yeah, you definitely want to protect them. I went through this with a polished frame/swingarm on my SuperHawk. I got a two bottle metal polish/sealant system for about $40 that worked OK. Clear powdercoating is a great idea. That will push the total cost past chroming but it will be lighter.

Chroming is WAY better than polishing when it comes to upkeep. Polishing is WAY better than chrome when it comes to unsprung weight. Pick your poison.

I believe the FoodTV series, Feasting On Asphalt, feature those swinging grills on their trip, IIRC.

DUDE! Are your referring to the ones I sold you a few years ago? Do you mean to tell me that you never ever put them on? You lazy sonuva.......... :goofy: As the originator of this mod :beer: , I've always wondered what kind of gains it made besides a faster revving engine and louder exhaust. At the 2003 VFRevolt, Baileyrock and I did some rollons. :beer: I had the catless headers installed along with a tfi box and bafflectomied stock mufflers. We did a few 2nd gear rusn and we were about even so I thought the better sound and lighter weight were the chief benefits of the mod. It was months later that I realized I'm limp wristed sissy boy when it comes to a roll on. I only roll it to about 7 or 8/10th's throttle. DOH!!! Kinda' like a biological rev limiter. If we would have switched bikes, I believe Kevin would have walked on me good but the thought didn't cross my mind to swap since we are about equal weight and there were too many good roads to ride.

It looks way, way better but then I'm biased. left side front.jpg
