Bling faceplate
« on: May 22, 2013, 05:11:30 PM »
Got this done yesterday. Need some opinions on how to tastefully bling this faceplate. Right now I am thinking it is a bit much.maybe outline only or?? I love the rest of the bling on horn, plates, ignition Switch, and fairing dials. I even like how it looks on the black lowers tho it would be cool if I could find that ebay seller for the 6.5 rings and put the bling on the chrome on that instead to match the rest.

Opinions ? I want her to be unique but not overdone

My first & last CVO, Scarlett, arrived 6-1-12. I always remember my mom while riding.  She had smarts with a spirit of independence & adventure. "You Gotta LIVE!", was her motto; her favorite color red, and she loved BLING.

It looks like my daughters phone,  if you like it then its good.  Me personally no.  But that's what's in right now.  Just walk through the mall and look at the purses and I pad covers and phone covers,  and kits to bling out everything.   It like my parents don't like my tattoos either. 

If you like it then keep it.  What does it look like at night,  I notice it does reflect off the paint pretty nicely.  Not much different then the diamond ice collection. 


It is what makes us all one of a kind.

You asked for opinions...I think it's too much.  But, I'm a man, so what do I know?  ;)

My wife has a phone case that looks very similar, but it stays in her purse most of the time.  She loves it.

FUNNY, Goul... but I don't bling like that. In my opinion, that is WAY overdone, and looks outright gaudy... like a downtown Las Vegas casino. I've never liked the jeweled look - especially colored stones - that some of the ladies seem to want on their bikes - but if you like that look, the more subtle Diamond Ice stuff looks much better.

I don't even have the Ultra-style chrome radio faceplate on my bike. SESGs ain't supposed to look like SEUCs!

You DID ask for opinions, Kilaani...

Really looked at this and have to say, not my cup of tea.  However saying that, I think it would be OK around the guages but that around the radio/speakers just puts it over the top.  Terry said it best, however...."but I'm a man.  What do I know?".... :2vrolijk_21:

HD makes an aluminum stick on face plate that you may be able to get anodized red.

Around the gauges only would look great (for a woman's bike).  The radio face plate (in my girlfriends opinion) ruins the blinged out look!!  These words came from my girlfriends mouth, she loves the bling around the gauges.  I think I have MORE work to do on her bike!  I also like the look of the gauge bling look  -->for her bike<--

 Most of the time less is more!   :soapbox:

She Be-dazzled her motor-bicycle !!! I think its awesome. I personally like it when someone expresses themselves and goes outside the box. Now, with that being said, I am a dude who painted a Streetglide Sublime pearl green in 2010 when it wasn't popular to do so and cut the frame and put a 23" painted wheel to match. Do what you want to it, your name is on the title. But not sure I would ask these guys their opinions, they are brutally honest and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thats what makes this forum one of the best on the web, not just harley sites but all of them. you guys crack me up...
