I'd be interested in doing that too if it's easy enough. I really don't like that honeycomb material.

Sounds like a straight forward process. The plastic black honeycomb really doesn't do the front end justice. We are also looking at changing it....anyone have any ideas on what the are going to try and use? Stainless mesh? Aluminum? Painted stock pieces? Alot of sportbike owners make their own grilles from a stainless mesh. Very inexpensive stuff and tolerates paint pretty well. Not sure if it can be powedercoated.

The bowtie grill from Summit would really increase the bowtie count on your SSR too. I wonder how many there would be after installing it? Maybe a couple hundred? Please post some pics after the install. I think the polished stainless would look pretty nice with most the SSR colors.
