here is my 2001 ET4 all done up in pealing cuppini chrome, I liked that it made it look wider but if I had kept it I would have had to rechrome the bars, It started rusting and pealing soon after but as long as I was cleaning it and storing it inside it was holding out. I can't imagine what it would have looked like if it had been kept outside.
NICE LOOK. Cuppini,
Do you think it would have been strong enough to hold foot pegs?
I was thinking of powder coating as I've heard before about rusting.
if you are thinking foot pegs on the bars for a child. They may work but you wouldn't want to have them step on them with their weight. I think, what Chad has would be better, but if you didn't want that look and wanted them further back I think if you were gentle it could work. Not exactly the strongest stuff or the best product this cuppini stuff ... two things I would suggest if you go with them is make sure you put some kind of antirust paint or coating where the rear bars go under the rack so you don;t end up rusting the bike. Also the front mudguard thing is a tension fit. I lost mine once when I hit a bump at 100kph and ran over it. A little dangerous, I would never have another one of those but if you do there are brands that make them with a bar that goes up and screws to the fender fastener, I would try to find one like this or modifie this one to have that kind of fastener.
