I live in Denver and I had a bike stolen out of my garage last summer. The thief then rode my bike to another house where he stole a Ram. True story! I’m not sure how the truck was stolen and I was able to find my bike for sale on Craigslist and have the authorities recover it. The truck unfortunately turned up in Texas a couple days later. Anyway, I’m not making it any easier than I need to for someone to steal my truck!
That looks great but make sure you have clearance. I had a very low profile license plate frame and noticed that the tailgate was very close to contacting it when the gate was down. I could barely slide a piece of paper between the gate edge and plate frame. That was too close for my comfort so I removed the plate frame and won't be adding anything around the plate again.
What did you paint them with? Also, what color were they before? I want to paint mine red as well, but I have the chrome.
Thanks for that little tidbit. I just checked mine and it's pretty close but it looks like there's about 1/4" clearance. I'm going to buy a license plate frame to replace the dealer frame, but now I'll have to make sure it's flush with the plastic on the top of the bumper and it's no thicker than 1/4".
I used Craftsman toolbox red paint I got at Lowe's. I too had the chrome and it's basically impossible to paint them so I got a pair on Ebay. I put multiple coats on over a week.
It was done it twice on me. There's a large bush
on the right side of my parents' driveway. When I get close to it, the automatic brakes kick in. The first time it happened, my heart dropped to my stomach thinking I just f@#ked up my new truck. And last weekend I was backing up at night and the automatic brakes saved my @$$ from hitting a tree 
damn guess I have to buy some black ones and sell these chrome ones. Appreciate it. I'll go buy the paint and get ready for this project when the new hooks come in haha
That looks nice. If she sells it I’ll buy two.
It truly is the best “driving” mod IMHO. I love mine.
Dang, am I the only one that actually enjoys hearing that backfire when you let off the throttle and it goes into 4-cyl mode? Scared me the first time after I put the Borla ATAK on but then realized it was the MDS. Anyone got a burble tune on theirs?
I have to be really paying attention to notice any difference in exhaust when MDS goes in or out, and I have the Borla Atak.Dang, am I the only one that actually enjoys hearing that backfire when you let off the throttle and it goes into 4-cyl mode?

After my lift and tires, mds rarely kicks in unless I let off the throttle. I can tell when it engages as the exhaust definitely sounds different. As for the backfire, it doesn't always happen. I can usually make it happen when cruising about 55 or 60 and then let off the throttle. Then you get a nice loud pop out the rear. Brings a smile to my face lol
Its called an "AceBike TyreFix" I found out about them when I purchased a mototote when I drove from Norcal to Austin Texas for a track day weekend at COTA. 1800 miles each way and the bike was rock solid in the back, and I still got to use all my bed space!
Thanks man I just scooped up 4 of them, I run vintage dirt track so I have spoked wheels. The current set I have is webbed the the car ones, but it has two straps that wrap around the rim. Those straps dont line up with the spoke locations so it either loads the spokes or I leave them off and have to watch the bikes like a hawk.
