SilvrT Posted July 20, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 20, 2009 Ever think that chrome headlight shroud gives your 2nd gen a "cyclops" look? Here's a couple pics of mine I "cleaned up" (rather quickly) .... looks a whole lot cleaner to me now. I was contemplating getting a second chrome shroud and painting it to match the scoot just up to the forward edge and wondered what it would look like. I think I like it! 3rd pic of course is the stock one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreezyRider Posted July 20, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 20, 2009 Nice job of photo editing! I keep clicking back and forth between two and three....can't make up my mind which I like better. Not ready to paint mine yet. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted July 20, 2009 Not ready to paint mine yet. Joe Me neither ... but if I had a second shroud, I would, just to see how it would really look. Also think it would be kinda neat if a guy could go one step further and come up with a "frenched-in" look. Heck, might as well go all out and modify the fairing to incorporate driving lamps (aka passing lamps) ... geeeesh ... it would almost look like the new Kaw Voyager then!

Squidley Posted July 20, 2009 Share #5 Posted July 20, 2009 My biggest turn off on the G2's is the front fairing, I still dont like how it looks. The only saving grace is that when you add the driving lights on it, changes the whole look of the front end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that tho, I like the fairing of the G2 and I think I even like it more with the change in the headlight shroud ... it looks much more streamlined (to me).

SilvrT Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted July 20, 2009 I have a black one if you want to try it and a black wind screen trim to Thanks for the offer but I would still want the chrome part from the edge in towards the headlight. Here's a pic of what one might look like with the driving lamps installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tx2sturgis Posted July 20, 2009 Share #9 Posted July 20, 2009 Looks good to me!!! I blacked out those clear lowers that hang just under the fairing...I think it cleaned up the underside of my black fairing. I used black paint on the insides, and its holding up pretty well...even if it didnt, I could always order new ones.. I used the smaller kuryakyn bullets on mine, instead of the normal 4 inch passing lites...I like those a lot. I wonder if you'd repost my pic with the chrome headlite ring blacked out? I might like that TOO much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danimal Posted July 21, 2009 Share #12 Posted July 21, 2009 Hey KevinsDa1 this is a pretty good oppurtunity to show off your windshield trim. I know you are pretty shy but c'mon. (Insert snicker here.) Kevin had his trim painted to match the top of his 09 and it's sharp! Sharp enuf to make me want it. So come on out of your shell Kevin and tell the nice people about it. P.S. Really enjoyed picking on you bud, and looking forward to seeing you again. Your a blast to hang out with. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradT Posted July 21, 2009 Share #14 Posted July 21, 2009 I would not be painting mine as I am not to fussy on it all black sort of looks like a cone. I agree with the passing lights make the second gen look alot better, but I still like the eyebrows . Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
