    Someone had asked what this cost earlier. Now that it's done I can give y'all an idea of what you're lookin at. I rounded up to offset sales tax, and keep in mind the prices I paid are local retail. ALSO: Sebs work is subject to price changes depending on what he's doing, and if his cost for rings increases...

    $250 Cover mod
    $ 20 Pressure Plate Powder Coating
    $ 40 Shipping ($20 insured each way in a flat rate USPS box)
    $ 20 OEM gasket
    $ 14 Stainless hardware
    $ 9 VHT Wrinkle Plus paint
    $ 5 Blue 3M paint tape (don't shortcut this...)
    $ 7 Blue Loctite
    $ 4 X-Acto knife & spare blades
    $ 4 Black RTV Sealant
    $ 2 Brake Parts Cleaner
    $ 3 3M Sanding Sponge

    $378 Approximate cost.

    THIS- from a guy (and I use that term loosely...) who lets his bike rot in the garage while he spends his life on the couch eating, flipping through sports channels so he can stare at men, and than enslaves some poor woman (he claims it's a "marriage") in an attempt to convince the rest of us that he's straight.... Let's be honest: you bought a white bike in some ill-fated psychological attempt at demonstrating to the world that there is anything virtous about you.

    And you should be jealous. The cover is WAY cooler than your collection of victims memorabilia.....

    Where do I start with this? White Bike simple and says I don't need to draw attention for chicks to look at me. That party colored fag train that you call a paint scheme with your "really cool" headlight covers and "super sweet" windscreen scream nothing but insecure flaming ass pirate that is starving for attention. Plus Captain America was clearly gay.

    If your bike was made into a big wheels toy it would be call Ghetto Fagmobile
    YOU on the other hand - if you were a movie - you would be Battlefield Earth.....eat shit fuck face BAMMMM

    :pound::bravo:

    Not bad... I'm amazed you could pull yourself away from the Bieber website long enough to respond.

    BUT- since you took things away from the spirit of good fun, next time we go to the club try to remember something when they throw you out for hangin out next to the urinal winkin & tryin to tip dudes: the dollar bills we gave you were for the GIRLS.

    Got it all back together last night & learned of something else ya gotta do:

    The damn fairing will bilt up, but it WILL be pressing/rubbing against the outer ring on the mod. Replace the 2 collared bolts at the rear of the fairing with 2 of the remaining M6 x1 x25 S.S. cap screws leftover from the cover mod. Use 2 M6 S.S. washers between the bolt head and the fairing, and on the backside of the fairing use 2 1/4 x 3/8 x 1/2 steel spacers from lowes. problem solved...

    How much do you see the oil once it's done? Does it look dirty after a couple thousand miles?

    Only put about 60 miles on yesterday, so it's still clean. Mobile1 stays cleaner, longer than other oils, so I'll let ya know. One thing I did notice: when it's really cold outside, as the oil warms up & flings on the lexan, it congeals in a white cloudy film & you can't see through it until the oil is hot, and the housing & lexan are warm enough not to congeal the oil on contact.

    Yes, total cost to modify your cover is $250. You will need to cover shipping and paint.
