Gunna attempt to highlight the fins on them, when the battery is charged I will post a new picture of what it looks like (before/pre-test and after) I would like it to look like a "Satin chrome" similar to my exhaust finish ! Oh well we will soon know if IT is OK or if it sucks "TEST" "BEFORE"the one on the left has too coats, right has first coat !!

Looks good Bean. I thought about doing that myself but never got around to it. I took all the bolts out and painted them black and never got around to the foremans

Thanks heathun was a little worried about doing it, but when I stepped back to take a picture I felt good about my gamble,

Do the fins on the front fender too!!!!

Bean...that looks EXCELLENT!Best I've seen yet!You did a really good job there...ONE of the reasons I like yours so much...you only painted to the end of the plastic that was raised...that little fin part.When ya look at that front shot there,the silver flows with the lines of the upper fairing and the part of the mid fairing where the one "upper" piece(under the foreman there) kinda bulges out as it goes back.EXCELLENT!

I don't think I've seen ANY painted like that.

Now that you've done it like that,as I looked there...I'm just wondering...what would it look like "IF" the rest of the foreman now was painted RED like your bike?HHHHMMMMMMmmmm.Silver "fins" on a Blood Red foreman.Anyone Photoshop?I think the RED would have to match EXACTLY to give the whole side there the look of being one piece(like Ninja's there...that looks very good as well).

Bean 07, looks great!..... What type of tape did you use and where did you get the paint?

Thanks djonez76 I got the tape and paint from an auto parts store (Suppercheap) the tape cost AU $7.99 for 50 meters by 6mm it's a plastic tape for masking curves etc, then I just used standared masking tape for the large gaps! hope this helps out mate.

It looks great, I am thinking about doing mine like that now. If you dont mind a texan copying a great idea.
I have seen a bike with the whole piece "chromed". when it got really hot, the very top 1 1/2" discolored. I dont think your will since the fins have to be the coolest area.

Hey cobbar I dont mind IF YA DO that is a 100% compliment !!thanks heaps RYNO from STEPHEN

I wish I did'nt wait 2 months for the hugger, got money back this morning and have to wait till 15th/DEC. for there stock (UK) to then send it here to OZ When it gets here I'll post picture then ( under Tyre hugger ??? )same Accesseries section, THANKS again mate.

Thanks buck20,Yes it just helps the look of it,I liked cobain's his is done in the red! I looked through all the pics on the forum and thought just the fins done is enough,last weekend my mate an I were half cut by time we installed the undertail (bottle of black an norm J BEAM) we then agreed the fins on the front fender needed doing too, hey mate we had a great time planning it .
