Moulding

What did you use for the moulding that runs the length of the bike? Who makes it and does it come in other colors?

It's automotive trim molding and it does come in different colors. Mine came from AutoZone and cost about $20 for a roll.

I purchased that red molding a while back and, like I mentioned in the previous post, I remember buying it at AutoZone. Doing a web search on it, I believe this is the product:

Looks good, enough to break up the solid color and not to much to make it look busy, Nice job

No nut on the back. They attach with double-sided tape.

I am going to install the light rings tomorrow along with the SoCal lights in the turn signals...BlackBetty thought they did not look so good on the outside...was thinking I would try to put them behind the badge ???

P.S. Not trying to jack your thread...seemed to fit w/ the badges....:icon_frown:

The rings are designed to go AROUND the badge, not behind it. And, the reason BB12 didn't particularly like the rings is the yellow color when they are off.

Is the Decepticon on the front vinyl? The red inside the "nostrils" of the front, is that more of the molding, or are those lights? Sorry, I can't tell from the picture.

I might have to try the 'carbon fiber' molding. http://cowlesproducts.com/cowles-cus...fiber-molding/

Wonder how the chrome molding would look for those QFC. http://cowlesproducts.com/cowles-cus...m-flex-chrome/

Yep, the front emblem is a vinyl decal. With the curved surface, it's difficult to use anything rigid so the vinyl works better there.

In the "eyes" are LED light bars from Custom Dynamics which scan in a Knightrider-style fashion. I have those on a switch which I can activate to serve notice to a slower rider ahead to move over and let me go :039:. It's pretty cool but not at all practical. I'm doing most of this stuff just to have some fun with it.

If we lived closer together I would spend the money to do an Autobots theme on my red deluxe just for the sake of doing a photo shoot.

That would be pretty cool :yes:. Actually, I like the Autobots better (being the good guys) but went with the Decepticon theme since my black bike looks so bad :icon_evil:
