You can always chrome the cookie sheet and diamond cut the edges of it, that would look good setting under the bike catching the oil  :D

No dripping, only seeping out enough to give the black wrinkle paint a nice shiny sheen. ;D

Maybe the polished motor with some brandy accents.  Air cleaner ring, caps and cover here and there, little red highlights against the chrome look gives it a little offset. Good luck it does look bit-chin.  Laced wheels or mag...?

It's inevitable that I'm going to have to tear the heads off in the near future. I'm just waiting to see how the latest and greatest HG is working. So far I haven't heard any bad reports from those that have had them installed, but it's still early too. More miles ridden will be the telling factor. Of course if the liner has slipped, no gasket will fix that, but since it's just a consmetic issue right now, I'm OK with letting it seep for now. I'll just keep cleaning it up with soap and water and keep riding it while the jury is still deliberating on a verdict.

The rims are PM Tantrums......rear 18x5.5 with a 200 metzler 880.....front 21x3.5 with a 120 metzler 880

If you have some ideas on what to accent....I'm all for suggestions.......for me if I have 2 socks on, even if one is blue and the other is black...I still have 2 socks on.....that will tell you about my color coordination :coolblue:

If those are the rims Im thinking they are, they would look good on that bike to me if they had red  laid in that center groove on those split spokes, Sorry guys but Im dont care for red to much, it scares me, mainly when its flashing in my rearviews  :oops:

NO, ask MJZ.  His 03 SERK Elvis has more chrome than any bike on the site - - -  bar none. Well not quite everything. The swingarm Hogasm is dealing with on another thread was originally intended for Elvis.

Brian,

Flip the axle around and bring it in from the right side of the bike. Drill and tap the adjuster to accept a pointed grade 8 set screw.  ;) :jack: I couldn't think of that while we were talking but did after we hung up.
