Ya know, I don't want to toss a wet rag on this, but I really don't like the look. It's definately different, and I can see where it will make the scoot stand out in a crowd.

I also have an extra set of covers and am going to try masking off just the edge of each fin and shooting them semi-flat black. In my minds eye it will look cleaner and not as busy. I checked with out local auto paint supplier and they have Fine-Line masking tape in 1/8" so that's where I'm headed this AM. I'll take some before and afters and post them when I'm done.

Rather than masking off the fin edges, you can use vasoline to coat the edges, Then, after you shoot them, the vasoline will wipe right off. The is also a liquid masking material used by body shops which will do the same thing.

I have seen these covers on a couple of bikes and they really stand out in the sun. Also, one bike had chassis LED parade lights that looked incredible.

Yeah I thought of that Russ, but I want to get a better edge which I don't think I'm capable of getting it with the vasoline....or anything else for that matter that's applied free hand.... What I have tried in the past, to eliminate any bleeding under the tape, is to first shoot the tape with a clear and then the color. The clear will bleed under any problem spots and seal them. Works pretty well when dealing with an irregular surface.

Who's Mike, and how much...?????

 

I'm the mike

i send out a silver or black set that has been diamond cut, and if you like them, you install them on your bike and send your old set back to me and i cut them for the next guy/gal. and so on...

the fee is $400.00

the plus side of this is that you have no down time while waiting for the bling, and you get to see what your getting without any change to your own heads.

 

 

e-mail me directly or feel free to call me, my info is in my profile.

 

thank you all for the kind remarks!! mike/eusa1

just a dumb comment .... why would there be downtime anyway ... they serve no real functional purpose so the scoot is not disabled when the "fake fins" are removed.

 

Having said that tho ... I wouldn't be caught dead riding without them.... ewwwww.... "NakedRider" !!

[Freebird]

You don't want to try that. There are drain plugs behind them that are held in by the fins.

the motor mounts also have fins on them, and and they are done as part of the package, even though many have said they would ride without them.....mmmm not me

and as don stated.... there is that coolant leak concern with the plugs..

ahhhhhhhhhh... pretty obvious I've never had them off eh?? LOL

 

'nuther addition to my "knowledge base"

 

I saw a Victory (can't recall the model) with a cool custom paint job and diamond-cut fins ... it looked real sharp!

[eusa1]

the next set of silver fins are going to "THE BOSS" thanks for your order Don!

 

i will get them out to you a/s/a/p

mike.

[Freebird]

Yea...I had been wanting them for a long time. I think it was about 6 months ago that I talked to you about them. I can't wait.

[kantornado]

Don you will really like them as you can see they look great. Mike does a great job.

I got allot of complements on them and everybody wishes they could get there’s done.

I have had nothing but complements and you will like how it dresses the bike up

I do need to post some new pics of the bike tho........Ron

[sarges46]

Nice Ron.....good to see you are still trying to make that thing as pretty as can be!

[kantornado]

Rick it is a work in progress and as long as the guys here keep cumming up with cool stuff

I will keep adding...................Ron

[Black Owl]

Hey Ron,

 

Sure would be nice to see that bike in person (again).

 

Besides that... We have yet to find someone that can manage the campfire like you can....

 

[kantornado]
