Good looking job you did!!  :thumbup: :thumbup: Can you do mine next??  ;D


 :laugh:  You must've skipped over the writing and went straight to the pics!!!  But a blacked out engine would look awesome on your bike!  :thumbup:  I guess I could make some extra money by doing this!

You know pulling the motor out would've been a PITA...but it might've been easier doing that then leaving it in and having to work around the frame!  :banghead:  :laugh:

  I think that is what he thought to when he did it!! I do know he said it was a B***ch to get out and back in!! Exspecially to get it back in and not scratch anything.

  You did a GOOD job!! Two thumbs up on your project!!

Too cool, Jason.

Not that I'd ever do it to my bike but too cool.

Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.

That is one of my winter mods, but like you said, I didn't do the sanding of the fins...It definately brings the motor to life! Yours looks awesome...
