Opinions wanted!
I repaired a front fender that I received from Lube . It had a hole punched through it. I cut the fender lip off to resemble a '02 fender, and used some of the cut material for a filler piece to repair the hole. Since Colorite paint cost as much as a new fender, I instead painted it a gloss graphite metallic gray. I also painted the ram air inlet and covers the same color.
Now for the opinions, keep the fender gray, or save some $$up and paint it green?
The springs on the Yosh have a rattle to them at idle,what is the secret to keeping them quiet?
The hugger I got a killer deal on does not extend below the swing arm. Is there a lower piece available, or do I need to fab one?

Very nice, please give me your address so you can fix the hole I put in mine since lowering it. I also like the way you cut the fender. Very nice....

I have to say that I do dig the way those ram-air covers look man. The front fender cut looks sweet too, good job!
It looks like the grey matches nicely with the KAWASAKI on the tank cover too.

the spring rattle issue can be solves with some clear tubing over the springs. You can of course use tubing of another color.
