Something goofy going on. It seems we all have "the button". So watch it, or I'll ban ya! ;) (unless you ban me first).

Still waiting on the sprockets to come in. Looks like a piece of cake, though.

Nice.

I just ordered a bunch of that material. I'm going to put some on the back, and I was thinking of putting some of the front of the front fender - on the down legs. Think it would hold up?

;)It seems very Workable and the adhesive is 3M so it stays put . I actually am going to order another sheet to complete the installation. I had everything pattern'd out on heavy Freezer Paper so as to minimize the amount of waste...
Please make sure you clean [I]ANY Wax or Pollish off the areas first . I used Ace hardware Denatured Alchohol to clean all the treated areas, TWICE ... so far I'm verrry Happy with the outcome....Jack
