The modding disease

I thought I was over my $$$$$ modding days but I bought a new motorcycle for my 70th birthday and within a couple of months started modding it.

It was a fun project although most of the work was done by a local HD mechanic.

Once the blacking out process starts it can be hard to control

Don’t ask me how I know.....😎

Hopefully I’ll have more self control on my X5

Stock 22's in all black. I love the look, probably won't do an aftermarket wheel here.

Those are 12mm Front and 15mm Read. Think I may sway the 15 to the front and get a 2" for the rear. But so far still pleased.

Can you remove the original badges, paint/plasti-dip, and put them back on? Just curious how you would reattach them? New 3M tape?

Reapplying new 3M tape is what I'd be looking to do.

I just received the black badges for X5 40i from eBay and they are smaller than the OEM badges that we have on the car (I bought them knowing this).
Thanks - I'm thinking about ordering off eBay. I found the italicized badges for the X6 in gloss black (says approximate size is 3cm), but I don't know if this will match OEM sizing.

Anyone have a set off eBay that is italicized AND matches OEM sizing? I know IND offers them but it's like a $200+ mod vs $40 on eBay, if I don't paint the originals.
