Oh, were you expecting something a little more risque'? I'm not even sure I spelled that right.

Anyway, What do you think about my version of the S cut tail? I experimented with paint trying to match the main frame. I finally accepted that I wasn't going to and settled on this color. It's Valspar spray can Aluminum color over a dark grey primer. I'll probably do the rails soon. I think it's a nice color.
Yes, I know the signals are crooked. Not sure if I like them anyway.

Looks great. Very well done.

You can get the matching color in a spray can from Buell, perfect match and very high quality. I bit the bullet and bought 5 cans of graphite gray for my 12.

Big improvement over stock. You can also get cans of Buell graphite gray from American Sport Bike. I have been blacking out my bike to good effect. www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-prodshow /17149.html . I also have the integrated turn signal tail light which I like allot. www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-prodshow /9037.html
If you install it right it works as a license plate light as well.

Thanks for the compliments. These are the signals that were on the bike when I got it just a few months ago. I don't like em either and just haven't shopped for any others yet.
I actually wanted to match the silver on the main frame and not the rails. But I like this color.
