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 Cheesy

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 Wink

Very do-able. I did it on my other bike. Start with the belt sander, then finish up with increasingly finer grit sandpaper. Put the sandpaper on the table and rub the cover back and forth so it doesn't get rounded over.

I didn't have a sanding station, so I just used a handheld belt sander.
