    Let me know what you guys think and what else i should do. Im trying to go for a more "how the car should have came from the factory" kind of theme so im not trying to paint engine parts many colors other than black silver gunmetal and more or less neutral colors. Thinking a polished oil cap would add a little bling to it but im not a big fan of the ones on ebay. Anybody know where else to find em? Also now all the information labels w/ belt routing and etc. are all removed as well as my falling down hood mat but idk if you can see it in these pics. Prolly going to try to reroute the main wiring harness under the throttle body for a cleaner look as well as paint the diagonal braces to match the body color. Enjoy

    Looks good. Did you route the wires under the supercharger nose? What kind of wires are they? Look like nice ones. I like the cover off, show whatchya got! Thats why I like my Buell (even though I got a Honda RC51 too), it shows the motor.

    Yes he did. They're PRJ wires. The best you can have for the 3800.

    PRJ sells them on his own site, 3800 Performance has them, and ZZP has them.

    Just alot of tlc. Really tho i just hit the engine with some of the car wash tire cleaner and then hosed her down (trying to avoid electrical areas). That got most of the gunk off and then i just spend some time under hood trying to make things.....well....pretty. lol. Usually I just hunt down every little area that could be improved cleanliness wise and then just start cleaning with a rag and whatever product i deem fit at the moment (aka whatever i have close by). The other thing you may or may not have noticed is i took of the front engine lift bracket and the bracket that behind the coil packs. That helped eliminate some of the engine clutter which im sure many of us despise. Thanks for all the postive feedback guys.

    99prixgt, what part of jersey are you from?

    Oh yea and PRJ wires FTMFW! lol
