Fuel Tank Bling?
I recently acquired an 03 'Hawk in nice condition with very low miles. In the attached photo, can anyone let me know if the chrome strip along the bottom edge of the fuel tank is standard equipment on these bikes?

I could not find this trim piece in any of the online photos/manuals I have reviewed.

Looks like stick-on trim you can get from auto parts stores. It should add a modicum of protection during tank removal.

Most auto part stores have it, it's door edge molding.

Thanks all for your feedback! Agreed that it doesn't look too bad, but I will likely remove it since I am not a big "bling" fan. Cheers!

Actually, to qualify as "bling" it would have to be the gold colored variation.
The chrome stuff is merely foo-foo.
