rear shock cover

Post by billy budge » Fri Nov 24, 2006 7:00 pm

Hi all
Does anyone know where you get the famous brands covers for the rear shocks reservoir(used for compression damping), ive seen ones like baked beans,redbull etc.
Always wondered where you can buy them from??

I'll bet that you could get a jack daniels sticker made that'd fit. Probably you could source an image quite easily.

You cut the cans top and bottom and then cut it lenghtwise.
wrap it around the schockreservoir and tighten it with the stock clamp...


0.33 ml. cans are a little bit to big so i used an smaller 0.20 ml. can, that way you see more of the text.
