    Default Did some painting to better balance the color scheme:

    We ordered a pearl white F3, but decided the colors on the bike needed some "help". We had the wheels powdercoated a dark gray and added black lugs vs the chrome it came with. Also, powdercoated the muffler black. We removed the "Can-Am" logo and painted the upper covers black vs the original silver. (a big change) Lastly, the fenders were painted pearl to better match the bike. Note: her model didn't have all the gloss black in the gas cap area.
    The windshield is a 14" Madstad. The windshield works very well for my 5'0" tall wife. The multiple angles and heights give her the protection she want with no buffeting. She also has the option to get some good air flow on hot days.
    A couple of pix are attached.

    I don't get what's happening here. The pix show up on the computer that I started the thread with (the one I'm on now). However, if I go to this forum via my ipad, there are no pix with this thread. Can somebody explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

    Sorry if you already did this. I am an IT guy so I tend to default to step by step.

    Nice bike, but I like my work area just a tad bit messy.
