You can get foil tape at your local hardware store. (probably cheaper than the auto parts store) Look in the heating and cooling section.

If you have an all black tank, you could try adding the wing tip decals on, only in white. Give it the reverse look. I've seen it on a few bikes and it's cool. Something to try that isn't repainting the whole tank.

I'm with Aken on this one, the white tips on a black tank with those fairings would prolly look pretty nice. The reverse look isnt bad. Love the white and black by the way, if I ever end up trashing my fairings bad enough to need to order new ones that's prolly the color combo I'll get.

Yea I may give that reverse look a try. That foil tape will it do the job good? Really not trying to melt the new fairings lol

I wonder if the heat radiating from the engine gets hot enough to melt the plastic. Post pics of finished product...were the holes pre-drilled?

With the fairings came some a piece of paper that said not to install them without getting heat insulation I dont know if it would melt the plastic but I am sure it could do some damage on the paint at the very least.... and yes the holes were pre drilled

I've got the same color combo on my bike. I painted them myself, though. I think the bike would like fine with the reverse tank. Where are you getting your bolts from?

I have my old bolts still but I would like to get new ones no idea though really. Do they sell them at like hardware stores or do they need to be specially ordered?

^ I tried looking for bolts and it was such a pain. When I bought my bike, the fairings were just BARELY hanging on with the bare minimum amount of bolts so I tried looking for some but I couldn't find any :(
