I think you need this for your shock:

Not sure how it would fit though.  What color hardware are you using?  Gold?

Bling, bling!  8)
 
Sorry though TJ, I aint messin with the Ohlins bro, it's it's own bling...  ;) :chugbeer:

I asked him the same thing the other day. You will never guess what he said.

Oh, did you have black bolts?
Might have to go back to chrome.

Ahhh, sorry now I get the question...  :-[
 
I looked for some green ones but no luck so far, Pro-bolt has color options but no green it seems, I'm gonna just rock my black fairing bolts for now, I fgure with as much blacked out stuff I have on my bike I'm hoping it looks ok, definately better than chrome bolts would...  :)

I just came from the painter to see the pearl in person... OMG!!!  :o
 
It is absolutely freakin awesome!!! Pics just can't do this paint service at all, there is so much "Golden Blaze" in the pearl it is just stunning! I can't wait to get it on the bike and out in the sun!  8)
 
Here are some phone pics I took while there, we aimed a light at em to try and capture the golden blaze pearl as much as possible but again the photo's don't pick it up very well, if you zoom in to them though you can hopefully see some of what I'm trying to describe...  :-\
