You are welcome.

My RD has a 2015 Yamaha SR400 fender I bought off Ebay for cheap. It was a slightly damaged dealer take-off according to the seller (barely visible light scratch)  If memory serves I had to elongate the mount bracket holes just a touch. Here's a pic

I had limited shop time today due to normal life intrusion. I did manage to get two center caps done with my recently  procured GMC decal set. The replica decals are vinyl and not metal like the factory bow ties but they are a perfect fit and should last a long time. The vendor cautions against direct pressure from a car wash but my truck gets only hand washed anyway and at $8,41 shipped for a set I felt like I couldn't go wrong. I will be ordering another set just to have on hand.







About 45 seconds with my heat gun and I was able to get my exacto knife under the edge of the metal backed bow ties and pry them off. Then some brake kleen and a rag to get the glue off and careful placement of the GMC decals. Two down and 2 to go.

I am running a Daytona Velona electronic multi-function instrument. The tach signal is picked up from the positive side of the coil.

Thanks. I have had it for 22 years. I gave 5 grand for it with 100K miles on it in 2004. It has 274K and change now. 3 years now since the LS L59 5.3 4L60E conversion, best money I ever spent. I love my old truck. It will never be sold.

Today was first wax since the paint job in May day. I  used zip-wax car wash soap and a micro fiber wash mitt for a good  hand wash.

Next I  applied Maguir's glaze, followed by Meguiar's gold wax.  I am quite pleased with the outcome.



 







 

These are the ones I ordered to replace the Bow Ties.

 



Today I went on the hunt for the correct fancy chrome lug nuts for these OBS wheels. O'REILLYS to the rescue. They were the only store in town that had 20 of the correct lug nuts in stock. $48 later I headed to my local tire shop and they jumped right on it.

I am very well pleased with the outcome. My GMC  center cap decals will be here in a few days.

Snagged these yesterday on FB Marketplace 30 miles from the house. Also ordered some GMC center cap decals to replace the Bow Ties.

Me too. Thanks Mark.

After the heat wave we are currently experiencing here in Northern Virginia.

Not correct I am sure, but I use a touch of blue Loctite and my butterfly impact and let it rap good a couple times for those.

   

85 miles of 2 stroke debauchery today. I am pleased to report the tach drive block off plate dry as a bone.
