          I'm leaning toward painted and filed on the head and the covers. But it's tough to judge without knowing what the rest of the bike will look like.

              I was planning on maybe shining up the side fins on the head....
              YEAH! Like that , only do all the fins on the engine too. That would look fly, for a white guy.

                Bruce, I'm glad I could help the rest of the guys make up your mind for you. Now, what we need is for someone here to step up and offer to do it for you. I'll gladly fly out for you, but as big as I am, they'll charge me for 2 seats (they've tried it before). But, I figure since you're paying, I'll do the work for free.

                  Doing ALL the fins would be alot of work, and might look a little too "pimp daddy" for me. But I think I'll do the fins on the head like on my 1150.

                      I think the fins should be polished and the edges black...

                      I like to be a bit different...so shoot me!

                      I like all of them but the chrome finned.

                      Jump ball between all chrome plain and silver edged finned.

                      Okay, I talked myself into all chrome plain....unless you polish the edges of the head fins, then go with the matching cover.

                        I like the plain polished alu fined ones. Now, WHERE did you get those? I have been looking for a set for the cafe for ever.

                          That's the way to go right there! I love blacked out with shiny ends, looks fast and classy!

                            Good 'ole ebay. I bought them a couple of years ago. They don't come up too often. And when they do, they go for mint money.

                              first choice solid chrome originals
                              second black fins with polished edges on caps and head.
                              Or, whats your body work color? maybe have them anodized with a matching or contrasting color, then anodize some of the other alum. bits on the bike too match.

                                The "theme" for this bike is to make it look like my 1150's "older sister". I'm going with a silver frame and 1100 swingarm, powder coated. 1150 rear wheel and front end with the black forks. The 1150 calipers will probably get polished or powdercoated black. Blue and white body parts in some sort of Skunk/1150E design. Engine and side covers gloss black. The VM29's will be painted or powdercoated gloss black with polished tops and bowls. Chrome bolts on the side covers, head, carbs, etc.

                                I think I'm sold on the black finned with chrome tips. That and the sides of the head. Subtle and sexy!

                                I think she'll turn out to be purrrrdy.
