Rear Fender Rant
« on: June 08, 2008, 11:41:07 AM »

This is just irritating....I decided to put a Solo Mustang Seat, along with a Motherwell luggage rack on my RK.  Lo, and behold, the frickin' marbling and pinstrip on the rear fender only extends up to the point where the seat attachment screw is located.  And to top it off, there are two circles etched in the clearcoat where the stock seat rests, almost as if the seat were installed while the paint was still wet......for 30K plus, I expected a little more than this.  (WTF was I thinking?)

That is what I was thinking of.  :2vrolijk_21:

They are available in multiple sizes, shapes and finishes. :)

Exactly.  I had mine done by Timberwolf Leather.  The red matched unbelievably well.

That is nicely done   :2vrolijk_21:  I'm going to worry about a fix this winter, when the local painters aren't too busy.
