    Also, for the push pins, I used a hobby flat screwdriver, small enough to get in between and pop the center pin out so you can grab it with your figers and pull out. If you're careful - no damage.

    Great job by the way....

    Thanks... and YES! Where do they all go ?
    ALSO...
    I learned... The Push Pins come out real easy... Just push in the center of the pin and it will fall out real easy. No prying with a screwdriver like we both used.

    Jax, it appears that you are the subject matter expert for the mesh mod.

    Naaa... Not THE expert... I learned from many KR Members.
    WildKat and some others were the most help for me.

      Looking at the bike from the front, the 2 with the steel washers go at the top near the windscreen, they sit on top of the grommit holding the windscreen in place.

      The two with the rubber washers are the next ones down on the center plate/marker light thingy panel...lol.

      The last two go underneath the headlights, same center panel.

      Thanks - have to try pushing it in next time.....

        This is what I did back then:

        I put the rubber washered ones in the Third Eye panel...
        The Steel washered bolts in the Windscreen rubber gromits that seem to just turn rather than tighten...
        & The empty bolts up under the headlights in the Kat's chin.

          The gold looks awesome, looking back, I wish I had made mine a particular color rather than just keeping that chrome look.

              I covered the table with towels, because I thought that they would be soft enough not to scratch the paint all up. I didn't use any kind of glue... So no worries about that.

                          I dunno Enjay. I think you made the right choice for the colors of your bike. Looks nice what other color would you have chose?

                              Tips were great

                              Always wanted to do this, but was so much easier having the pics to follow. Great stuff
