I had Carsmetics do my controls and brake resevoir today. The levers are Kury chrome wide levers. How do they look?

Shiny. I added a 'smooth top' brake reservoir cover to mine, got rid of the 'book' that's written on top of the OEM cover. Love that mirror, where'd you get it?

Here comes the sun and I say, "Aw-right!"

looks good man, i looked for the "right" master cover and went with this one, its the kuryakyn cover. blends in with the lines IMO better than a squared one does.

Perscon, I got the mirror from Phats, they're called funhouse with sidewinder arms. I think I am going to have to get the cover. It looks real good. I went with the Kury levers instead of polishing the stock ones cause the kurys are alittle wider and more comfortable.

Thanks audio. As for the vibes, they are pretty good. They have two screws behind the mirror that if they are tight, the mirror is a rock. You have to thread lock the mirror into the arm or they start to hang after a hard throttle. I have no complaints on them and I get a ton of comments on them, isn't that what counts?

You guys know you can sand that "book" off the reservoir cover right?
Save money and looks great once you're done, it polishes great.[

what polishing compounds and tools are folks using? I was speculating a dremel tool with some kind of felt and/or cloth tips?
