A 1600 Wannabe

**schoeney** · 04-13-2011, 05:49 PM

I like the look of the Vulcan emblem on the 1600's sissy bar pad so I went out and got the emblem and chrome insert for my 1500 Cobra/OEM backrest.

I think it cleaned up this area fairly well (compare to the "before" pic in my sig line below). What do you think....better?

I know it made it faster!

I normally don't spend much effort on non functional items but this is a safety issue...that chrome now reflects lots of light so I am more visible ::). That will be the story I tell my wife so you guys make sure you agree with me

Looks a whole lot better!!

Looks great! I think it ought to reflect the lights very well!

**Griz** · 04-13-2011, 06:29 PM

Nice addition, looks like it should have always been there!

Absolutely. Even looks faster sitting still

Gives it a much more finished look, oops I mean it should reflect lots of light at night.

Could you turn the picture a little, it's blinding me!

Also, that chrome insert will prevent varmints from gnawing through the back of the seat. You'll end up saving tons of money with this purchase. ;)

There's alway room for chrome.
