Chrome Tank Trim

[metallyguitarded_imp]

I've officially completed my first mod! Took all of 15 minutes and required just patience and wire cutters. My first bike was a black cruiser and I had found this chrome tank trim online that I bought, applied and really liked. I thought it would look great on the CB so I found some on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6ft-Chrome-...ash=item46082e6cc8&vxp=mtr#ht_3244wt_1006

I put it on last night and then on the way in to work this morning, made a quick stop to find a scenic background to take a pic. The pic didn't turn out all that great but the scenery is pretty nice - taken on Harbor Island with the downtown skyline and North Island Naval Airstation in the background. Just another excuse for me to procrastinate and ride just a bit longer before getting stuck in the office on a Sunday. Anyway, here she is:

Looks great. Love the way it accentuate's the tank.

Thanks! I'm sure that's the cheapest mod I'll get away with. Haha.

I'm going to assume you're referring to my bike and not my bile! Haha. Either way, thanks!

I did the same mod on my bike. Very cheap and easy.

I glued the two ends at the back of the tank and relied on the trim's adhesive everywhere else. However several months later the adhesive failed in the area directly above the engine. If I were to do it again I'd add a dab of glue in that area.

Looks good - I'm guessing that's San Diego?

Thanks! It is. That's on Harbor Island (not actually an island) with the San Diego skyline and North Island Naval Airstation in the background.

Looks awesome on your bike. Love the seat and Road Comet cowl too. I'll keep an eye on my trim. When I used it before, I never had problems with it coming off but if it does, I'll consider some glue as well.

I've had plenty of grog at the North Island base in 1979. Looks good!
