I'de say you don't owe me anything, but if you're offering a beer, then sure, I'll take it

And FYI to anyone who wants to know, Greg Smith sells them.
They are called triple tree bolt covers

I figured instead of opening another thread I'd just ask another question on this one. How hard is it to take the S off the gas tank? Also if I take it off and get another in red, what to use to put it back on? Has anyone done that before? any tips or suggestions.....

I removed the chrome S's on my tank.
A little heat helps(hair dryer), just peal them back slowly.
Fishing line or fine string will help get a corner up to start if you can't grab it with a finger nail.
Goo Gone or some type of solevant remover to get the glue off.
I also used masking tape to box in the stock S's. That way I could put the stock size black sticker S's I got to replace them with in the same spot.
I seriously doubt you could get the stock ones off intact enough to scuff and paint them, as you'll see the wrinkles in them from peeling them.
I do not know where you could get a stock replacement of a different color either.
You could buy new stock ones, remove the chrome, and paint them too.
Too remove the chrome soak them in hot water and any drain cleaner with a high content of sodium hydroxide. The chrome will come off on it's own. Clean and paint them.
If you do get the thick stock ones as replacements I'de use a clear silicone to put them on. That way you won't damage the paint, and they'll stay on yet come off easy if need be.
I got my tank stickers here.

Skeche may be able to make them for you also.


The black caps went out in the mail today too.

You could buy new stock ones and try painting them, but I have no idea how good that may or may not work.

Let me look
And re-read my post, as I edited it.

 

[sixpack577]

Probably one of the better pictures of them that I have.
I traded my Busa about a month ago for a B-King too, so can't take any new ones.

 

[MoNoXiDe]

Sounds good. Ya, I'd just have to see what they look like painted etc.

That has a nice flow with the color of your bike. I dig it. I was thinking red for my S's black you wouldn't be able to see. I just want them to flow right or I'll just leave them off.

red s would look good...
