more free mods
been busy doing more free mods, just added is the polished stock exhaust tips. also shown is the homemade tail tidy, with turn indicators on the plate frame and plate light is the top two plate bolts/leds. also homemade clutch cover cut from stock cover and paint detail on rim and brembo logos.
polished tips were more work than is seems, took about 4 hours with the right tools. removing exhaust, drilling out rivits, using a palm DA sander and steping down from 120/220/320 to cut through factory powder coat and heavy graining and followed up by a healthy dose of polishing.
tail tidy was simple using stock 4 hole bracket under exhaust and trimming off behind rear bolt hole at desired plate angle then welding on upper piece to except plate. if stick out blinkers are desired, just add brackets this.
One Shot brand lettering/pinstipe paint used on detail paint for years of lasting quality.
clutch cover is as simple as finding a design, lay out in ink, and carefully die grinding or dremel then file and paint.
