I recently changed the chrome trim on the front of my SVTC to black. I ordered the black trim parts off of the black Eluder, and I gotta say...I'm diggin in. I put the two side vent pieces on myself, which only took about an hour. I was a little perplexed by the headlight surround, so I let the dealer install it with the tour pack rack and my first service. They quoted me $80 because they couldn't find the job in the book, and it looked relatively easy.

 

BOY WERE THEY WRONG!!!

 

It took them 8 hours, and they had to strip the entire front end down, just to get to that part. They spoke with their Yamaha rep, who pointed them to the page in the book that covers that job...$450. They were cool and stuck to their quote, but somebody got an A$$ chewing that they won't soon forget.

 

That said, just know what is involved if you decide to make the swap. The most expensive part was that metal cowl under the windshield...over $200...OUCH!

 

I know, I know...pics will follow.
