rear shock cover
so, my bike is red an black and the rear shock is yellow. i cant afford an aftermarket shock right now. what you all think? also i can point you to the guys that make them if u want one, they can do any color combo.
AND i bought some quad stretch vinyl so at some point im going to recover my seat an add some memory foam to it. itl look good an be about 30$ instead of 300$.

Mixed feelings about it... It's cool if you have the theme going throughout I suppose.
But then again, I'm the guy that takes plastic covers off of brand new cars' motors and leaves them off because *I* think they look stupid, so I think I'm in the minority heh
I like your seat idea, I'd love to see that....I'd thought about redoing and recovering my old one as well, but my butt can't seem to find the bottom of the factory foam on my existing one so that's a no-go until it gets uncomfy!

normally im the same way but i hate yellow, (no offense to the yellow hawk guys) i just didnt want one yellow piece on an otherwise all black bike. even my turn signals are now clear on the front and red on the back.

they shock cover doesnt hav any foam or anything. it fits tight on the shock and is VERY breathable. ATV racers use them all the time, and they push shocks harder and have a lot more debree around them then what this will ever see. and yes they are heat resistant. (this one was made by a place that does shock covers for ATV's all the time)
the vynil and memory foam will be for my seat.
just curios, you guys havent ever used or seen shock covers on anything before???

P.S. a burnout smily face would have worked great here.

its not empty, just REALLY low. :P
im not one to burn the back tire so the rubber shouldnt be much of an issue iether...
ATV guys run them to also protect the shock from getting chipped by small rocks and to keep twigs an stuff out of the spring. not an issue here though, just saying the cover isnt gunna hinder the shock performance. (by the way i am an ATV guy also. HONDA 250R, its a legend)
