You know, we keep wondering how long the Sharpie detailing will last on the heads, but I'm wondering what takes it off (good) if you wanna change back to the bare look?  :-/ I mean, we know to use lacquer thinner to take off paint, but has anybody experimented with removal of the coloring from a Sharpie?  [smiley=nixweiss.gif] spyder

Hell, Spyder, I just put it on there and now you want me to take it off?!?  [smiley=nixweiss.gif] [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

BTW, now up to 10 pages on $1.29 Sharpies (and various asundry $700 chrome billet modifications).

Actually, I was wonderin' the same d@mn thing as I was putting it on.  But I figured it had been a couple years since I'd first seen it on one of these bikes and that if I still liked the way it looked after all that time, I'd like it forever.

As long as it doesn't somehow get impregnated (Twolane should have fun with that one) into the metal, it seems like you should be able to get it off either with some solvent like lacquer thinner, or something abrasive like a Scotch-brite pad.

Since you ask, I experimented with a red sharpie on my SE heads, but since mine are black, the contrast wasn't quite what I wanted and took it off.

I have come to the conclusion that it is better not to have any photos of my scooters on here, because then everybody has an opportunity to put blue arrows and chit all over the pics, either to point out what you have or don't have/need, which always costs me money somehow.

Oh, by the way...I have a red Sharpie going home with me today

Hey JR

[RedFXR2]

Here's something to think about in terms of accent colors involving the script on the heads:

This one's been talked about before, but it's been awhile.

Now I ain't going back to anywhere to get you instructions for these...

They just push on don't they?? [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

I hope so - I ordered some last week from M and M Cycle along with the chrome fuel line and the front brake caliper bolt covers

If you really are stuck - let me know - I'll get the instruction sheet (assuming it exists of course) [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Cheers

They don't come w/instructions. They are just being difficult to get on. I was wondering if those that had them had any tips/trick they could share to get them on.
