 Chrome Trim
Just and idea, not necessarily a good one though, but has anyone considered using chrome door trim to bring some more sparkle to the RT. With this:

It looks as though you might be able to place the trim around the edges of the trunk, saddle bags, frunk, and maybe even fenders. I'm not much for pimping a ride, but I do like the looks of chrome, and the stock RTS seems a little lacking in that arena.
As the wife says about my creativity - sometimes bad ideas are the only ones I have.

Onyl an observation
I see that stuff used plenty on cars in Mexico around everything... mirrors, doors, hood, trunk, gas door, and any place
else they can put it, remember a little go a long way.

I think I need to apologize. I didn't read the thread post rules before I started the thread. Moderaters, please delete the thread if necessary. This is not a mod I have done.

Best to use the trim that comes in rolls from Auto Zone or Pep Boys. Comes in 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 inch sizes.
Some folks think it is too much but I don't think I've overdone it.
Penny and Rick have owned many motorcycles starting in 1974 with Hondas, then to Suzukis, Gold Wings and ultimately Spyders.

DT, I concur. Not overdone, and, I might add - a very nice looking Spyder!

Some of the plastic door chrome that is available will leak adhesive out around the edge of the chrome and make a mess in the heat.
