I try do do things to my skuter, that makes it a bit different from others...

 

with that said, here is my latest addition in the "quest for more chrome"

 

the lower fairing on the 2nd gens are made of a clear thick plastic, and they take quite a few hits with the bugs and rocks and such, and after a few years and a multitude of miles, they start to look a bit tacky.

i took a new set of lowers and had them chrome plated, inside and out, then automotive grade clear coating added to help hold the shine.

 

whadya think??

Me and Dan talked about making the fairing deflectors in polished aluminum but those curves and mounting brackets are just too intricate for us. Those look great chromed. But like you said, you need a new set to start with. Plastic cant be sanded too well and those scratches sure will come out to haunt ya.

Fantastic job......hmmm, will the wife let me do this too?? (anyone have a spare room in their basement?):smile5:

How about shiny black ones instead of chrome? I took the eye brows of the fairing on mine for a more aesthetic look..

Hi Mike this is the first time I've seen the post and they look great! I knew as soon as I opened the post it was you that did it. Really looks nice but I need to save a lot of pennies to do something like that.:thumbsup2::thumbsup2::thumbsup2:

the air cleaner boxes could be chromed just as easy, you could even do both inner and outer parts of the box......hmmmm, now i might have to take the inside halves to the chrome shop??:mo money::mo money::mo money:

i had them painted to match on my 1st 2003 rsv, that looked cool too!
