Chrome tank trim - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I got this tank trim on Ebay and it looks pretty sharp. Thought some of you might want to see what it looks like. It's an inexpensive way to add a little style to the M50.

I have a tank "bra" so I got my chrome tank trim from Walmart for 2.39 (it's meant for a car door and doesn't go all the way across like yours but the bra covers the ends)

Yours is very slick going all the way. Was it one continous peice or is it broke into two pieces?

It was one continous piece and I tryed to put it on like that but I couldn't get it past the wiring harness coming out of the nacelle so I cut it right there.

you can get it in one continuous piece at places like autozone too. I bought the same stuff from ebay that Raptor got but then I had to take it off and couldn't reuse it. I stopped by autozone and they had the same thing in a big long strip. Basically what I am saying is you don't have to wait on the mail from ebay. You can get the same thing at a parts store and save the shipping.

I'll keep that in mind if I ever have to replace it.

Looks good on yours in particular. I think it's because you have the small silver paint stripe as a color break between your two main tank colors.

I almost ordered some for mine, but then decided to keep the blacked out look going on mine.
