Finally I got some time and weather to go for a short afternoon ride here in Iceland. Rather chilly but was nice though. So good to feel spring coming :cool10:

I FEEL GOOD !

 

 

Thought I´d share a couple of pictures :)

Yes, the chrome outlines on the bags, trunk, lower fairing, gas tank and fenders are plastic chrome channels that you warm up a little and then press on. One has to be careful not heating them to much - I heated the surface of the places I was putting this on a little more and this thing stuck really hard. Really highlightes the bike.

Bet it felt great to get out. The Baron sure is shinny...Guess I better get to polishing up Max for you.. Don't want you to have to ride a dirty bike in August. We are all anxious to see you again...Give a big wet kiss to the BOSS from me...see you soon...:fnd_(16):

I did this to my 2008 RSTD and it really set it off. If you decide to do this the hardest part is getting it on the lower fairings/leg shields. Their edges are thicker then the fenders or bags. Do it on a warm day and let the chrome sit in the sun for a while. It will go a lot easier, or use a hairdrier to warm the chrome.

Nice pics. Glad to hear you've had a great time riding. I agree, 40° temps is perfectly ok. I can ride for hours with that temperature.

 

Ride Safe.

Make sure you get the rims good :stirthepot:

Don´t know about the wet kiss though - have to think about it :whistling:

Do it on a warm day and let the chrome sit in the sun for a while. It will go a lot easier, or use a hairdrier to warm the chrome.

The trick is to warm the chrome channels mildly with a heat gun so they get just a little flexible and then warm the area pretty good that you are gonna install them on. Just don´t overdo it because of the clear coat. Then it is easy. I took the parts off the bike that I installed these on except for the fenders.

 

Jonas...I love the pictures...I miss Iceland! Can't wait for you to get here...HURRY UP! :cool10::cool10::cool10::cool10::cool10:

 

I´ll be there sweetie and can´t wait :bighug:

Thanks Puck :) Actually Iceland should have been named Greenland. But the guy who found Greenland was obviously a business man - Not so much the guy who found Iceland :)
