It's not quite as 'amber' as stock but much closer than shiny aluminum.

KB 61076[/snapback] I feel like a cat burgler, sneaking in here on my son's internet access. But, hey,I kind of like it . . . like explianing to Trooper Royce that the bike just does 80 mph and any happy bloke 'll just hang on for the ride. I don't know how long this PC will last but I sure miss this community of riders! I guess it's telling that I can keep an old Goose on the road ( almost 40,000 miles on the y2k Sport) but the PC's elude me.
edge Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 I had a touch of rash on one of mine last year and chose to have it polished out instead of painting or buying a new one. It's been a year now and there has been no up keep (maybe not as bright but still looks nice)

Steve G. Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Try Goodson aluminum last blast, part #alb-1. It's non smudge, heat proof, non clear coat, and most importantly, is a very close color match. You really don't want to spend all that money on a new tappet cover because of a little scratch do you? Actually, the silver is going to be a piece of cake. It's retaining the red lettering that will be tricky. Golly Docc, 40,000 miles! This is a good thing. Ciao, Steve G.
