Does anyone have pics of the 4 piece Magnesium stripe body kit offered by Buell? The catalog and web page do not show it well.
Do you have to clear coat it as well?

It's completely new bodywork, just bolt it on.

Save yourself some $$$$$ and stripe it yourself ! I did it for $12.00,looks good and about $500.00 cheaper.

There was a pretty good pic in a recent FUELL magazine - maybe 2-3 issues back.

How close is your homemade job to the kit just so I have an idea? Mine is red so I can't do it myself.

No clear coat needed? The description says
"Clear coat to seal". Does that mean they striped it and then cleared it or I have to.

I bought a roll of silver rally stripe ($12) from Advance Auto and cut it down with a razor blade to match the factory set. Used a hair dryer for heat to make the stripes adhere to the curved body work smoothly.

It came out pretty good and my wallet didnt get hurt.
