    Yeah, I got lucky for a change...I didn't measure prior to purchasing. I have about a .5" from tire to bed wall. Perfect fit! Keep in mind that you can swivel the frame towards the tailgate if your bike is a bit too long for a 90 degree fit.

    Yours seems to fit like a glove...nice. Thanks for the tip. Good idea on the swivel. I'm off from work tomorrow so I may see how mine will fit just out of curiosity.

    Mines got a slight take and I love it. Steers better with a slight rake no bump steer. And when you haul something your lights aren't shining up at the moon.

    Yes, they’re Clazzios. I got the PVC set. Install wasn’t that difficult. After the first seat you’ll get the hang of it. I saw a YouTube video showing a folding technique for the seat backs but found that to be harder. I just draped them on, pulled down, and worked the material down. Although like others have posted, your hands and finger tips will be sore afterwards.

    Some advice for the headrests that worked for me....Squeeze the cushioning of the headrest down/in while working the material over them. It’s a tight fit.

    The look and feel of these covers are worth the install woes. Love them!

    Not sure. I think it’s faux leather. I met someone with a set in his Taco. Couldn’t tell the difference so I went with the cheaper option. It was $360 after 10% off. And got them the next day.

    Side note: For some reason my set was shipped from an office less than a mile from my house. I could have drove over there and picked them up.

    Ok...Awesome.

    What was the price they charged you? This would be so much easier to take care of in the long run with all the bugs down here.

    I painted a grille before, and even then, it still chipped from rocks and bugs. I'm going to install the SR bezel this time around.

    I'll probably do Rustoleum and go with a mat finish. I did 4 coats of black and 2 of clear on my badges and love the way they turned out. They were satin though , I think.

    I might also go with bedliner spray if I feel comfortable with the spray pattern. I've had trouble with them not spraying enough grit in the past.

    The 3rd option is to get it Linex'd. This would be the ultimate and I can speak to it's durability as it's on my Diamondback cover as well. Good stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTOzcwzh5H0


    In the end, I don't mind the shape of the grille....I mind the fake chrome.[/QUOTE]

    As stated in my earlier post, I painted a grille using Automotive Touch up paint - https://www.automotivetouchup.com/ Probably the best paint available.

    I went the full route - primer, base color, clear coat. Multi layers over a number of days with lots of sanding and wet sanding. I still got chips. It's just too vulnerable of an area.

    The bed liner sounds like an interesting idea, but I'm not sure you will be happy with the end result.

    For all the time and money you will spend, I would recommend getting the SR bezel. It's almost $100, but in the end, I think it's the best solution.

    Good Luck with what ever you choose and please keep us posted on the results.
