IMO customizing your wife's bike is a no-win scenario. Make her do it, that way she has no one to blame but herself.

Excuse me, I'm Mrs. Gasman. Of course I know what wrap is. Hater. ...and he can do all the mods he wants to my bike as long as I like them. If I'm home when he's working on it then I help or try to do as much as possible myself (with supervision of course. Lol).

/not serious

I think I love you

I liike your bike and the mods you guys are working on....but....it cries out for a drag bar IMO. Gas said in another thread that drag bars are not your thing....what gives? Are the apes that much more comfortable?

[Uma]

Lol! To be honest, I haven't ridden it w/the new apes on that much. However, I like to sit up straight vs leaning forward. I know drag bars would look great, but I wouldn't like the ride then. Love you too!

I think your idea of blacking that entire bike out is awesome. Though, I think those holes should be a bit smaller if you're going to leave it as raw metal underneath.

Since it's your wife's bike - what does she think?

I don't have one, nor am I planning on painting her tins in heavy flake, I'm just stating it's back in style. Say what you want, it's back and I like it.

Cough... not leaving the pipe underneath raw. WOW... I'm sorry sweetie... I can't believe you all can't pay attention enough.

I think I've spent 2 pages explaining the basic idea in colors...

It's like this...

No more chrome. The bar in the front aka crash bar aka engine gaurd & the highway peg mounts which are chrome will be black.

The no chrome heat shields & mufflers will be a TBD color aka NOT chrome.

Color choices...

Exhaust pipe aka underneath pipe that you will see thru the holes
Heat shields will have holes in them exposing the pipe
mufflers, there are 2 of them.


-Gray Black black =all black with gray holes
-Black Gray gray =all gray with black holes
-Black Gray black =gray w/black holes&black mufflers
-Gray Black Gray =opposite colors as above

I originally though all black with gray holes (#1) but seeing the mix match of heat shields to mufflers makes me think differently. I do think the heat shields should be black for sure to contrast the gray motor. Question then is... black mufflers or gray?

Sure, but considering her "height requirement" I'm not sure why she's with a nasty tempered runt like you...

I know she knows what that stuff is, she was there when I suggested it to Gas. and, yes, I have seen her working on her own bike before. Only problem is that with Gas and my schedules being on the swing shift we are sometimes wrenchin on the bike when she is at work. So then she comes home and sees that the work on the scoot is done, gives one of those, "Huh, you already did the work on the bike, well, I WANTED to work on it myself, but since its done, oh well." looks and moves on into the house to change and relax after work. Oh well, she likes it anyhow. so its all good.
