Ya its not possible to keep paint on the heel guards. I just tracked down some amber ones from buell, I would reccomend that.

Buell stopped making the amber ones. Heelguards aren't the only thing to paint either.

Well...the name fits. Yeah, a tinted clear will darken it a bit. Probably be a closer match then.

well thats a whole nother story...sounds good, but i wish it was louder. Had it no more than 5 months of riding and the rivets came loose. figured it was cuse i put that wrap on the extended piece. But i know Artic9r does not have his wrapped and his did the same thing. Jardine is rebuilding his though for free.
