Polished steel looks very nice but the bronze look is sweet too. My Griso is the green SE with brown seat so the bronze look is especially nice looking. I think the bronze goes well on a red bike (bronze seems to go well with a lot of colour schemes).

I think of it like cast iron cook wear. New looks good, but a well seasoned pan has a certain rugged handsomeness to it that is appealing.

Twisted Throttle shipped out my SW Motech case savers (black), received them yesterday, installed today. They look factory (except for the sw-motech label). V Twin experience pushed me to use blue Loctite on the threads; just in case.

Massive rains expected today so no riding. Did too much riding in the rain when I lived in Minnesota (and the bike is still too new to subject it to rain just yet) so where possible I simply avoid it.

About five more weeks of not riding so I pulled the CB out to sit on and start her up. Mounted a tank bag I had sitting on the shelf and decided I could bother you guys with a couple shots of the new SW Motech case savers installed.
I think they look factory in black and really blend into her lines so at times it's hard to tell they are there.

Very nice, I put these on my bike a few weeks ago, and almost forgot they're even there.

So, with these on the bike, do you think the pegs will still scrape first in a deep lean? To me, it seems they will, but I'd hate to be wrong. I don't think it would take much contact with the bars to induce a nasty lowside.

They look great and i'm sure would funtion well but I'd recommend you quickly remove them, pack them securely in a box and ship them directly to me. Ill test them for fit and finish and lean angle and then give a full report to the group!

Ha! I'm still waiting for one of those crappy old Staintune pipes to show up at my doorstep. Cash for clunkers, right?
