I plasti-dipped the chrome covers, bezel, and ingnition cover. I am not sure if I am going to do the headlight or just get a replacement. Next mod after the Basic Riders Course will be to the 4 hole drill of the exhaust.

I am waiting until after the BRC because they do inspect the bike and I don't want there to be any issues.

Looks good. Don't forget about that tank sticker and the one on the swing arm

Got the swing arm one. The tank will have to wait until I can get a heat gun.

If you're interested, there is a thread for removing the heat sink disc on the rear rotor. something to think about.

I'd have to say the tank sticker was the most difficult mod I've done on the bike! That was such a PITA for me :suspicious:

Otherwise, lookin' good! You're gonna love the sound when you drill those holes!

I ended up painting the center part black as well.

Powder coated my brake plate and pulley. (don't think it's a heat sink) imho

I am not quite ready to take my bike apart that far yet. LOL It does look awesome though.

No need to. All you need is a couple of wooden shims and a good cut off wheel and you're done. That is if don't plan on keeping that thing.

So basicly unbolt the cover put the shims behind it and then just cut it in half?

Yes. You are going to need some washers to replace the plate you are taking off. Or shorter bolts.

Does it matter which direction the brake rotor faces?

I'm not sure who it was, but I saw a bike in the gallery where they painted the cover to match their bike, and it looks sharp...
