Posts: 2581 London ontario Gender:	Painted fins. 06/27/11 at 10:11:05 I painted the fins with a small roller and flat black BBQ paint. I think it looks a lot better, making the cylinder look larger and eliminating the "cheap" look of the stock fin treatment.

That is what I want to do to my bike. Please let us know. That is a good question.

BTW, I like the look of the fins too. Great job!

The seat is very comfy. After about 1000 mi it molds itself to you posterior. I can drive for two tanks worth (220 miles) before I have to stretch. The forward controls are great as well. I have a little arthritis in my hips so it was a bit difficult to haul my feet up to the pegs in their stock location. Very easy now.

I know I asked you before but this will seal the deal. Have to wait for Routy to restock the forward controls. Thanks Art!

Reply #11 - 06/28/11 at 03:41:47 Art, I know this is not on topic with your fins but do you have a shot of the bike from the back or the side. I want to see the clearance of the forward controls from the engine guard. I have a 9.5 shoe size. And while your at it, twirl for me. JK! Thanks I appreciate it if you could do it.
