Since the bike is in the shop.
Well I have some time before I get my bike back and seeing as how I can't leave anything alone I thought now would be a good time to do some cometic changes. I know its not an original idea but hey, you can't argue with good taste.
I am in the process of doing the rad ducts next. I'll post pics when I get them done.
Cheers
Ryan

Well the secret is.... 5 min epoxy. The screen is automotive cosmetic mesh for the grill of your car (expanded aluminum). You know, import style. I bought from a store here for about $20 (cdn). Comes in sheet about 12 in x 3 ft. Easy to cut,bend and shape. Just take your time and watch the sharp egdes.
Cheers

Silicone works well at glueing it in place. That is what I used.

spray paint works, build with whatever mesh you like and paint. I don't know that there is much to choose from that is already black.
