Hi Dave, Best wishes of a great new year for you.
The weather's been kinda boring so far. No great storms like other parts of the country have got.
I got my pair valves blocked just before my last ride on the day before Thanksgiving. Since then I've been de-chroming with black Plastic Dip spray paint to lessen my polishing duties. Using Plastic Dip as a base coat I can experiment with different colors and peel off any that I don't like. I found a "shimmer" gray textured paint that matches the original matte silver color nicely. The air cleaner cover & ignition switch cover are now gray and all the other plastichrome covers are black. Both colors are top-coated with a clear EFFEX prismatic speckle paint which should add some colors in the sunlight. I also painted my boulevard screen black.
I got a new K&N air filter and Dyna Beads for the tires should be here in a few days. No other mods for now but I'm sure more will develop because of this forum. Take care, Brad
