BuddyRich Posted February 18, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 18, 2010 I think they sent them out to have the edges done in a diamond pattern... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted February 18, 2010 Share #10 Posted February 18, 2010 I think that Eddie had pictures uploaded long ago but never did it again after the site crash a few years ago. I did a search but didn't find any pictures of "The Shiny One". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eusa1 Posted February 18, 2010 Share #12 Posted February 18, 2010 don't get me started on star again!! yes i do the diamond cut fins and have the black and the silver ones on hand so that you don't have any down time. i send mine out to you, and you send yours back for me to use for the next guy. black for black and silver for silver i don;t care to swap for different colors. $400.00 and your old ones in return. mike there are seven members on this site and a few more on the venturers site that have my work done on their bikes, that may chime in about the bling.

Kirby Posted February 19, 2010 Share #15 Posted February 19, 2010 I can't remember who it was, but last September, I think, we had a M&E in Savannah, GA at The Crab Shack. Someone there had their bike done this way. Can't remember who it was though. Might be a picture of it somewhere on this site. Hope this helps.

Freebird Posted February 24, 2010 Share #16 Posted February 24, 2010 Well...it may turn out to be a disaster but I just picked up a spare set of the fins off Ebay and am going to see what I can do with them myself. I think I can do a decent job with my Dremel tool. If it doesn't work out, I will not have lost a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dug050 Posted February 24, 2010 Share #20 Posted February 24, 2010 Hey Big Mike There is an article on the Venturers site about painting the fins and using a dremel to remove the paint from the edges. He didn't do a diamond grind but it looks good. Try Venturers site>Library Homepage>2nd generation>Miscellaneous. I wrote this down a while ago but haven't checked back since they were having some problems on their site. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
