Still looks good, I've been thinking of something for my matt grey Bolt. I've got a alpinestars jacket with a gold pattern on the back & part of the sleeves, looks really good with the shockers. Wouldn't mind something for the top of the fenders or side of the tank, nothing too big though, want it to be subtle.

"Aging" all the bright bits with a bit of Damask purple Guilder's paste, sandpaper and scotchbrite pads... Definitely a subtle, cool effect. Also got my old, purple, glass reflectors delivered.

Pictures when finished.

Oh, and a set of stainless steel Zombie Performance Wingus bars are on their way.

Installed Yamaha Gaiters.  Definitely improves the look.

Thanks guy.  She definitely makes some noise now!  Kind of louder than I wanted but I do like it.

I can always get a girl young enough to be my daughter to ride.  Those my age just call me crazy.

I put on the Yamaha fancy, brass tipped footpegs and lowered my brake pedal to match for my foot position.  Warning!  They're a tad longer than the plastic ones and sit a bit lower so they may drag if not careful.  I think I'll black out the tips since I've blacked out almost all silver stuff.

Finally put on the "brass" cover. Turned out better than I thought. Don't know how permanent it will be, however, despite the clear coat.
