Love the paint. You mounted the side boxes pretty high. How come?

Thanks Pilot, It was by far the BEST paint job I've ever done, ever. Trick was taking my time with it...

I mounted the boxes higher for a couple reasons; first was so I didn't have to figure a new mounting system for the stock turn signal lights. I also thought about my GF in the passenger seat, she like the cases higher for arm support while riding as the passenger. I will be creating a secondary frame that will link all three cases together for further rigidity

Looks cool.....and a nice job you did,,,,

My only comment is on the exhaust can, it just don't look all that good, I wonder if you did a vinyl wrap instead, either in the green, or black or carbon, or something

this is what I did to mine

before the wrap

and after

just a thought.....

Thanks for the input. I plan on leaving the wrap but adjusting the ends, I need to find a better clasping/clamping implement. I tired giving the bike a used, repair on the go look. I guess. I didn't want it to be too perfect. But I'll look into using a wrap, that might be better in the long run. Is it just a basic vynal you used??? Or something specifically?. I'll be blacking out the end of the muffler at some point for sure.

thanks!
