Title: Re: Cosmetics: Etched brake fluid caps Post by verslagen1 on 09/04/11 at 21:13:50 do your own, buy a plain cap. make up a design, print it out and rubber cement it to the cap. take an x-acto knife to the design then have sand blasted. paint it if you like. |

Title: Re: Cosmetics: Etched brake fluid caps Post by built2last66 on 09/05/11 at 01:29:12 You two wise guys... I'm being serious here.. I MUST HAVE A MACHINE ETCHED BRAKE FLUID CAP... OR HEADS WILL ROLL...... my girlfriend keeps telling me I'm obsessed with my bike... but every time she comes over I notice the passenger pegs are mysteriously unfolded and ready for a ride :D I saw a skull and bones one on eBay for $8 + shipping about 3 weeks ago.. I shoulda grabbed it.. now all they have is that stupid harley davidson eagle looking one... and they have a chrome one but that will offset the alloy color... don't get me wrong, I'm all about the engine... but once she's wide open with that RAASK exhaust she's gotta be pretty too ;) |
