I just looked at your thread for the rims. Those look awesome! Thanks for posting that link. I did not see that before. That price is way less than I expected too.   :chugbeer:

No worries Spanky, you're welcome!
And yes I agree, it's a very inexpensive thing to do but changes the looks of the Connie alot IMO!  :chugbeer:

Excellent. Now you can get busy stripping the anodizing off the heads and having them nickel plated so they look stock.... :D

Installed!!!
 
Piece of cake, even for a knucklehead like me, one at a time and didn't have to remove any body work.  :)
 
For some reason I still have a bunch left over, not sure what I might have missed, but oh well, now I have extra's if needed.  :-\
 
Here's a pic, I had to take it with the flash off to avoid flash glare on the plastic, it looks even better in person! The bolts now don't stick out like before (silver bolt on black plastics), they just blend right in, from 5 feet you don't even see bolts.  8)

Where are they? I can't see them  ;D





I know, I know, thats the whole point. I had a lot of extras too, but mine was called the hundred piece assorted set? I don't think they had a Concours set when I got mine last year.

Looks awesome!

Spanky,
Did your set come with a bunch of little spacers? (not the washers, these are spacers)
 
I used the spacers for the bolts where your knee's go, but not for any of the other ones, they sent me like 60 of them which has me a little confused...  ???
 
The rest of the fairing bolts only needed the flat washers that came with the set...  :-\

Yes it did. I used them when the opening on the fairing piece was significantly larger than the screw. It sounds like the set they sent is the same one I bought. Nice set up, but the screws are very soft.

Same here, but the only ones I came across like that were the ones by your knee's, oh and the ones on the lowers too. Just seems like I have a ton of those left over, but oh well.
 
I'm happy with the set and didn't strip out a single bolt, sorry Brian...  ;D

We have turbos to enhance power and speed and then we have black to lower our insurance rates.  I think that 'bout sums it up nicely ;)  By my math if you were to add a turbo to a black bike it will almost be as powerfull as our NEUTRON SILVERDAMMIT ;D
