I was at a lottery store today.
The attached is a $5 scratch ticket. First prize is an OCChopper worth $90,000 Canadian.
All I won was $9. You will have to buy your own ticket. The $9 will cover
9 liters of gas.

Just a matter of taste I wasn't sure if I liked it the first time I saw it on someone's silver and white. Then I saw it on a darker color (Blue and Black I think) and liked it.

if you do it right, it looks really nice, like it's should be there. I'm all for inexpensive items to bling out my bike and the edging is one of them.

The sun is out, so I will get a ride in. Then I will do up the fenders. The more I looked at your pictures, the more I liked.
Thanks for sharing.

Leave the edging out in the sun for a while, let if get good and warm, it will go on a lot easier.

Aren't you guys concerned with all the extra weight that chrome is adding to your bike?

blackie1491 · 07-20-2005, 04:38 PM

Just have to cut the hamburgers. In my case Jelly Bellies.
But as the edging is not chrome it might be only a couple of jelly bellies.
With all the power of VL 800's what the H**L.

Besides,,,chrome makes it go faster!!!!!!!!!!!

You noticed that too.

stp1971 · 07-21-2005, 10:38 AM

Yep,,,mine flies now!!!!!!! But if you have dirty chrome that is not kept clean it causes the coheficient of the wind to elevate and thus the drag increases to expotential porportions rapidly decreasing the forward velocity of the motorized cycle,,,,,,,, (it makes the bike slower then) so now hopefully everyone now knows why it is EVER SO IMPORTANT to keep that chrome clean!!!!

**Trapper** · 07-21-2005, 11:19 AM

Yeah , but the fact that mine's blue cancels out the drag from the dirt. I don't think I caould handle the speed if I kept it clean. I call it the dirt governor.

It looks good.
Thanks
