Biffed mine too....

Robert that rear lollipop signal is about the only thing I'd like to replace right away, the front is barely noticeable. I'll be glad to paypal you whatever you think it's worth.

Hey if I rough it up real good, can I paint the plastic chrome signals flat black? Would I have to remove the plastic chrome completely or can I just run some 100 grit on it and get the Krylon to stick?
The rear is still gouged too badlly to try to clean up, I was just wondering....

Jenn-The signal housings are metal, I had mine powdercoated, but there's no reason why they can't be painted. I would use flat black Rust-o-Leum tho due to it's etching properties. That would work just fine and is what I used on my scoops.

CB I have some stock signals for you if you need them. PM me your address and I will send what you need.

 

[ghostntheshell]

yeah. I was taking part in a riders safety course last night and that was a topic of discussion - the painted lines / arrows are very slick - especially in the rain!

It was something I hadn't thought about.

Let's don't forget train tracks! And also bricks, when they get wet, little particles of the clay they're made from come up and they are VERY slick.

It wasn't like I didn't know about the plastic painted lines, it was a bad choice of lines that put me on it.

Anything but tarmac in fact!

You ever ridden over wet cobblestones? Baaaaaad news.

Dirt? Slippery when wet.

Leaves? Off you go..

Man holes? You're going down.

Wooden bridges? Instant fall.

The list goes on...

That liquid tar they put in cracks gets pretty slippery too.

One of my favorite section of curvy roads has the tar filled cracks on them and they are slippery on hot days too! I try to pick a line to cross 'em at right angles but sometimes I would end up hitting them wrong...definatly a eye opener at 75-80 mph!
My rear shinko is getting pretty worn and I hit a damp painted line while gasing it, luckily I wasn't turning/ leaning, the tire spun immediatly! That was fun though as my brother was right next to me!:biglaugh:

There is no security in "existence"....even if you exist in a concrete bubble!! A falling helicopter could turn your home into a fireball in a heartbeat, and then where would you be?

Ride brothers & sisters....ride and enjoy it....cause, you just never know.....!

Harlan Engineering shiftlight is what I have, I had Tom from COO machine a bracket to mount it in next to the speedometer. It installs very easy on the tachometer leads. Here are the pics:
