MikeB60 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Never liked the silver color of the top case. One of the local bike painters charged me $100 to paint it the same color as the bike. Looks much better! Link to comment
Rocket_Cowboy Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Very cool! While I like that the silver top box blends in with the silver accents on my bike, I think I would like it better if it was the same color. Might have to check into this. Link to comment
RoyTemple Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I think that looks great! Anyone done this but with the Granite Gray? If so, got pictures? Link to comment
Swag Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yea, that looks real nice...might have to see about getting mine done also. Link to comment
JayW Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Looks great! How did you deal with the BMW emblem -does it just peel off, or did he have to mask it? Jay Link to comment
MikeB60 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 He removed both the emblem and back pad for the prep/paint. He does all the work for the local Harley dealer and his custom work is fantastic. I had him paint the tupperware on my K bike and it looks better than the factory work. Link to comment
johnlt Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I did the same thing and agree that it really looks a lot better. Mine is red. Bob's BMW had it done for me and charge me more than double what you paid!! Link to comment
MooreDriven Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I've considered buying a top box for over a year now, but have held off for several reasons, one being the color difference. Your box turned out great. I think $100 is a good price as well. Link to comment
TMH Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I've considered buying a top box for over a year now, but have held off for several reasons, one being the color difference. Your box turned out great. I think $100 is a good price as well. "Several reasons" for me related mostly to the price, but also to the color difference. I recently put on an all-flat-black Givi E460 case, though, and couldn't be happier. Some want more volume, and I hear that the E52 fits that bill. Love the look, the quality, and the price!

rogera Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I was wondering what that would look like. Much better. Will have to look into having that done. About how long did it take? Link to comment
