Tank Trim - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Greetings from the land of Oz

Just thought I'd post these pics of some chrome trim I have put around the edge of the tank. The pics don't do it justice, the trim looks good quality and it looks really sweet, for 10 of your bucks it's a bargin...getting some black sheep skins covers for the seats custom made too.

Stay safe, stay cool

This coming from a guy who thinks I'm the bling-king.

I know your are the BLING-KING
Lock up your bike, I am on the look out for a fancy seat.

Thanks guys. Gotta keep it shiney here, would rust in a month otherwise due to salt, salt, salt everywhere!. Like the fenders there, thought about doing mine too but not sure it would work on the M50 as well.

i agree....M50 is too sleek and sporty to put trim on fenders....

i ahve ben considering it on the tank, but i kinda have the same feeling about it, i like it stealthy and black.

it looks perfect on the tank, really brings out that teardrop curve.

blackie1491 · 08-28-2005, 06:27 PM

It hides that tank edge that I have always hated.

You can use black car door edge (or chrome) protectors from AutoZone to get thet look too, $2.99 for two strips.

farmbone · 08-28-2005, 10:13 PM

the ones from AutoZone are only 27 inches. I was a little short on both ends. But it still looks good.

It is also sold as wheel well trim. The package I bought had like 14' in it.
