I'd like painting a lot more if I had a good, well-lit, dust-free place to do it. Not the little shed with two tiny windows and no power. I have to run 100 feet of air hose to it every time (and move the wife's mule out and cover all of her gardening and meat smoking things). Maybe a Harbor Freight fabric garage....

I do too, but I need to remember to turn them out when turning full lock as they hit the tank.

Now I'm with you Gord, I don't think there is any difference than having them up the top. If your looking at your mirrors your not looking at where your going it's really only just a glance, top, bottom, bar ends they are all the same. I don't have to move my head at all just my eyes.

Turned out great, nice job. Funny how everyone slowly gyrates toward liking the color, when I first turned up to some work colleagues with Fat Turtle they were dumb founded and full of scorn for it. Baby blue, powder blue, lounge suit blue (beats me!) and all manner of negativity. But I love the color, I just hope it's not the new black!
