nice, the radiator side cover is very quick and simple yet makes a bid difference in the look. it was one of the early mods for me and i love it. :rockon:
the tinted turn signal is cool, did you do it yourself or did you order covers?

Did it myself. Had a bunch of leftover lens tint paint which I originally used to tint the stock screen. Not as easy as radiator covers, since taping is required, but still far from hard.

what type of paint did you use to paint the covers?

Like the radiator covers, think i might go for the, As for the tinted signals, how do they look all around w/o tinting anything else?
Dupli-Color brake caliper paint.. flat black. Matches the frame perfectly.
I think it works very well on my bike. My front is all custom.. dual round headlights and small clear signals right next to them. On the back, there were too many colors in one spot for my liking.. bright red reflector next to orange signals. The picture actually makes them look quite bright. In the shade, they're almost black.. they blend in nicely.
Here's a pic with flash, away from direct sunlight

That looks really nice.
Painting those is on my big list of things to do this winter.

another question, outside of the signals that Im growing a liking for, are those reflective rim stripes. I purchased some and have been aprehensive to put them on, because Im not sure how well the blue will match, but yours look awesome!
Thanks!
Yup.. those are reflective strips. #1 reason why I love them... it allowed me to remove fork reflectors (the ones mounted to caliper bolts) and side rear fender reflectors. The color matches relatively well.(Not the freshest pic, but gives you good view of strips)
looks great! good job!

I dind't know about VHT Nite-Shades™
I was looking to replace the directional lensses for clear ones and the original bulbs for orange ones, they don't sell those here (usa) and it was to expensive for what they are.
This is a great idea, i'll do it.
Thanks

One of my favorite mods. Now it's time to get those rearsets to match!

Be careful applying the VHT night shades. I tried tinting the windscreen using this stuff and it did not come out really that good. When they say light coats the are not kidding. I tried to build up the extent of tint too fast using heavier coats the way you would with spray paint.. not good... not happy with it. looking now to replace the screen. my bad for being impatient. oh well, onto puig I go...
Yup, Definitely have to go slow. 1st coat should barely change the color.. almost like it's not on there. Keep going slow from there.

Eric, can you make a video of the turn signals on, so I can see how bright they are? Thanks in advance!!
Sure. I'll put it up tonight when I get home from work.
