My new Interstate

Hey everybody. Here's a picture of my new 2011 Interstate. It was taken before I installed the Mustang Seat (which is awesome, my 2nd of theirs) or the Arelen Ness mirrors (also awesome). I just ordered a chrome radiator cover for it, too. It's sweeet!

Pics not showing up. Maybe me though. I'd also like to see the new seat too. I'm getting an '11 interstate soon too. Can't wait.

No pics are showing. I'd love to see the mirrors and seat also- I've had mine a week and haven't done anything except add my stereo system to it so far. I definitely want better mirrors- the stock ones are way too small for me.

I use photobucket for pics, had the same problem when I first started on this site. Photobucket works fine though. Just download photos to it then link them.

There we go, now we can see them. Looks great.

Gorgeous, Kathy!

you have a nice hand too

:angry: im jelous...lol..likein them mirrors..maybe i need an upgrade..nice red, cant tell in the pic but does it have flake in the paint like the blue does?

It does make me want to go buy another one too. I like the maroon red color. Make sure you open up the right side panel, cut the wire tires holding the wirering harness just up from the fuse box and tape or put additional protection on the harness to prevent wire chaffing. If you check it you can feel the (on bottom sticking up) metal tab that chaff's the wires right below where the taped (square) fuse or relay is. It will cut through from vibration after awhile, so don't wait and reinforce this area of the bunddle now.

Yes, fireman dan, it does have metallic in the paint. In the sun, it glitters like garnets!

lol glitters like what? :huh:

Garnets, it's a crystal red stone (gem) used in industry as well as in Jewelery. In fact the red color of the 2011 Interstate is about the same as a garnet

OK everybody. Who's out there ordering all the radiator covers for the Interstate? I ordered mine on April 10th with an estimated ship date of April 13th. Just got another e-mail saying it is delayed by the manufacturer until May 6th. Bummer. Guess that is what happens when you have a new bike with not a lot of custome parts out there yet.

P.S. Wolf . . . I was not, I repeat not, a hand model in another life.

Kathy, where are you getting this radiator cover from?

Dan, that sounds like a Charlie Sheen quote.

I just checked out that cobra radiator cover. Looks pretty hot and only $74.00. I just might have to get one as well.
