I like the way it looks on the red plastic, especially the way you have two different widths and spaced.

Hey Speedscooter, how is the pinstripe on the radiator cover holding up. Does it get too hot?

Its holding up well, I am thinking about getting chrome stripping and redoing it. Or maybe buy one of these, kind of expensive though, $92.50

That is a nice cover. Battlescooter also has one that does not look as nice. I would love to get something like that, but as you say they are expensive. Today I got some chrome strip molding but that did not work because when I was about to put it on, I realized that it is not possible because there are tabs under the edge that are not visible. i am not sure I am explaining it right, but if you pass your finger under the edge of each of the radiator cover edges, you will see what I mean. It looks like if i want to add chrome to the cover, I will either have to do what you did with the pinstripe or get an expensive cover. If you can think of any other way of doing it, let me know.

I am pretty sure they sell chrome paint, I might try that. I must have too much time on my hands, I just redid the front stripes. pics did not come out too good.

Looks good, I like the way the stripes start out over the headlight and continue under them. Dang Speedscooter, you got talent. You should start a scooter detailing business. ;D

I got the pinstripes at Pepboys, but they are available anywhere, I think even Walmart and Target. They are only double stripes, one larger than the other, I just used them multible times next to ea. other. Here is a link to a cool site that has just about everything www.edecals.com/index.htmlFor the pictures I am using Photobucket.
