I really like this look and it only cost me 12.99. What do you think?

The upside down rear light is an interesting approach and compliments the fender mount turn signals, nice chrome bead under the tank, the passenger peg relocation works well, too.

Nice lookin' machine all the way around.
Door edge looks fine too.
Those seams on the tank ain't one of the BAs finer features.
I used it on the edges of a home brew freak to protect wiring.
Leftovers are hanging on the wall.
Haven't figured out if it belongs on my (black) tank.
Said Molly to James, that's a fine motorbike.

Thanks for the compliments. I have a summer screen that I took of for the parade I was in last weekend at I was shocked at how it changed the look of the bike. If it is possible I think I fell in love all over again.

Looks good!! I did the chrome trim years ago, still holding fine. Protects the tank when you take it off for repairs too!

Been thinking about that chrome trim since I saw it last month on a TBA. Yours looks awesome...I'm doing it ASAP.

She's a beauty Julie! That chrome adds something I believe. Did it to mine a long time ago and it's still on there. Thought I would have to renew it much sooner!

Auto parts store. Called "door trim" usually.

Great idea of turning the rear light upside-down, whilst relocating indicators. Impressive..

Nice looking bike. I did mine several years ago and its holding up real well. I purchased mine at O'Rileys and I know that Auto Zone has it as well. Try to find a roll of the trim some places sell it in lengths.
