While I'm waiting for riding weather -it's snowing here!- and I already have the bike apart I'm thinking of adding the fairing grills.....So Show Me What Ya Got!
.........and where you got them and how much $ would be appreciated
my pics are in my profile but more importantly when you attach them..i didnt use glue because well it gets hott and melts all over your exhaust...what i did was mixed up some fiberglass jelly and spread it on the back side to hold the grills in place..it can get hott all day and isnt going to hurt it...will hold stronger then glue to
PPM Customs here for me too. Had them powdercoated to match my frame prior to shipping. Total cost was like $89.00 I think.
*note* The Epoxy that they send w/ theirs is awful and can melt under high heat conditions. I highly recommend you use Loctites version which canbe found @ Lowes or Home Depot...much better :agree:
The prices range from $39.99 to $120.00 on eBay... I haven't bought them yet because a few of my friends went the McGyver route and cut them out of gutter screen/chicken wire. I don't know which route is the most cost effective (money vs. ease of install). I like the Clarkcustom screens or .Org member Vic's... Posted via Mobile Device
The two bike pics are a fellow members bike but seeing as we both have 08 blue/black's and grills from Vic and seeing as I don't have close-up's of mine, I'm thinking he wouldn't mind me showing his off:
Just my opinion but I am not a fan of the fairing grilles ...
Seems to me it would be more of a wash mitt snag / waxing obstical ...
and you lose some of the depth of the fairing ducts ...
can't see your beautiful header , ect.
Tim....is the set you have from PPM the "galvanized" ...they don't look the shiny "triple chrome"? I want whatever I get to somewhat match my front air grills...and your set looks close.
Lowes Gutter covers..forget the price, but like $10 for four 3ft pieces. Cut, fit and sprayed them with krylon extreme metalic gold. Tacked them down with small torch and plactic rod then used Goop adhesive to solid them up.
mine where made from lowes gutters covers too..*$ for 4 3 foot sections..one 3 foot section did the whole bike...can sell the other 6 feet for a profile..lol
