Thank you Ferret. Great minds think alike. Mr. T has just shipped my matching bucket and chrome instrument cups as well. And, thanks for the past post on installing gaiters. I put my on last weekend. Your photos and instructions gave me the confidence to do it. And a big thanks to all that have posted their accounts for installing RLETs. If it had not been for you guys, I would have given up on the installation after the 50th attempt – but finally got ‘em on.

WOW, I didn't it would happen! Congrats at last, looks great.
I think the DLX should have had those tasteful items from the factory.

Thanks. I think they should have come that way too. At least the spoke wheeled EX's should come that way, with gaiters and rlets too.Ack-CB11_imp said:WOW, I didn't it would happen!

very attractive additions. unfortunately, from Samurider, so the cost is likely
to high.
like them very much, though.

the cost was a little steep for a frugal guy like me, but I like my stock mirrors, the stock exhaust, even the stock seat so I have saved a lot by not having to buy those items aftermarket. The paint on the bucket is deep and rich like the paint on the tank, the color an exact match. The chrome on the metal cups is lustrous and shiny. These are the last 2 items I desired since I bought the bike and they complete it for me. worth every penny imo.

Also, if you are going to import goods from Japan, the yen is pretty weak. A little more than a year ago, it was $115 to 10,000 yen. Now, it's around $85.
I have actually seen some OEM parts selling for less than some of the discounted parts places (like bikebandit). I just bought a set of knuckle guards for my Suzuki V-strom. Dealer retail is $128. I paid $43 + $17 shipping and still got them in under a week.

Well, I considered painting my bucket and figuring supplies was about $125 and 2 days labor with dry times and sanding and painting. Probably 8-12 hours in drying times alone between the base coats, overcoats and clear coats and when I paint I tend to get runs. So, for maybe $100 I had someone that knows what they are doing do it for me.

The price for the chromed gauge covers is a bit steep, but they look good, Honda has nothing comparable AND they are real steel..
I think I'll be ante-ing up for a set.
Thanks for showing and telling !
