cabreco Posted March 25, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 25, 2012 I was looking at my 84 after I made the side cover block offs & something didn't look right. It finally hit me the plates where the rear foot pegs bolt on need some dressing up. The black with the ribs was to plain. I decide chrome would accent it nicely but as you all know, I could not find anything for this bike. When I was at Walmart, I noticed this for $6.95: It's basically a plastic mirror which is attached with double face tape. It cuts easily with a scissor. I took a piece of butcher paper & traced the opening I wants to chrome. Made the template & I cut the mirror. I used a regular scissor for the straight runs & a cuticle scissor for the tight bends. Here's the finished look: Though I would share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabreco Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted March 25, 2012 Nice job. Was that stuff easy to cut ? Pretty much. I used a 6" scissor for most of it and a tiny curved cuticle scissor for the curves & final detail trimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
