XXSTAR Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 If enough people is want it I can go and have a side cover analized, the gold, and split in with everyone that wants a little. I can get a gallon of auto paint and harder. a gallon would be about 80.00, what ever it cost me, 20 people 4.00 each hardner about 30.00 1.50 each shipping about 4.50 about 10.00 that would paint 50 side covers????????? let me know, reply with ex. +1 +2 +3 and so on. if you need me to paint them for you I will at no charge. just shipping and cost Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiXXation Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I appreciate the offer, but aside from maintaining a stock appearance, the greenish-gold doesn't really match or complement any of the other colors on the '03 model. That's why I went with black (it goes with anything and everything). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobicus Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Actually, I agree.. I think that green/gold color is fugly. IF I was in the mood to throw money at stuff, I'd either buy the 97/98 versions which are black, or have them blasted and powder coated something that matches the bike a little closer, like a nice silver. I've thought that for my 02, especially, it would be nice to anodize it blue, but as far as I'm concerned.. wouldn't paint them green/gold if I was pulling them off the bike in the first place.

XXSTAR Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 well that is good because I don't like the color, I just though it should be keep as factory. but you are right black is better it will make it run faster anyway, Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Para045 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Funny always liked the look of the Goldish coloured covers on the Titanium bikes, my Titbird here in Aus has black side covers and I think the gold colour would look better JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT Ski Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I liked the gold with the black paint on mine to maybe we're just wierd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Krypt Keeper Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Why go black when you can go Carbon fiber.. I couldn't stand the gold color on my engine or on the front rotors.. So some engine armor and some gun metal gray paint and perfect. I liked the gold with the black paint on mine to maybe we're just wierd maybe? :icon_duh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiXXation Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Funny always liked the look of the Goldish coloured covers on the Titanium bikesI agree completely. My brother has a 2000 Titanium bike and the original greenish-gold engine covers do work well with that stealthy color scheme. go Carbon fiber I also considered these, but was concerned that they would insulate the crankcase and keep more heat in, instead of perhaps radiating it off as with the black painted covers. :icon_think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Krypt Keeper Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 The CF covers are held on with adhesive and still offer a small space between them and the engine covers. They get warm, but don't think they insulate to much heat in. I have had mine on for 3 yrs and no problems or concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Krypt Keeper Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 http://www.bikejohnny.com/cgi-bin/store/BK...CB1100%20SFX-11 Seems the Creations Engine Armor from across the pond has been sold or changed names. Also just get the 2 peice one. The 3rd peice can't be seen unless you take off the plastics. get it in CF or Kelvar The adhesive they use is some strong ass stuff. Once on, you won't be pulling them off unless you destroy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
