TM850R Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I have to redo mine already and its only been about 6 months. The SE isnt painted grill friendly either with all the extra large bugs that I tend to hit on the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
