You're so mean to me high-side!!!!
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

i never liked that thin edge around the cruiser gas tanks, that stripping stuff would make it alot cleaner looking. im not big on chrome anything id go for a matte finish myself.

a nice light bar and some highway bars on a 599 would look interesting :mrgreen:

Actually, if I could get some black piping I would put that on instead. I think it would look a lot better. We'll see what happens. As to highway pegs and bars... ummm I bought this bike so I could have my feet under me, not out in front.

matte black looks cool i think, or a brushed aluminum. highway bars without pegs i was thinking. not sure how you could ever manage to sit comfortable with your legs out front on a 599.... but im sure some OC chopper wanna be's would try it.

I'd rather crash.

As another comment on the fauz chrome-on-a-roll trim. My dad put in on his 'Wing back in '84. I didn't take very long before it oxidized, came loose in places and generally looked very bad. He wished that he had never put it on......so I guess that I am a little biased towards that kind of bling....

Sev, you can get the black stuff at most auto parts stores that sell bodywork materials, or those tendy 'sticker and stripping' stores that pop up in every mall.

If you put that chrome crud all over your new bike, I'm gonna side with Bruce and hack on you without mersy for a month straight..... then break into your garage and take it all off. :wink: :laughing:
No Witnesses.... :shifty:
