The '08 owners will never be able to detail their knob like the '01 owners!!! :lol:
Detailing the knob.
Robbed this pic off an eBay auction for a detailed shift knob; they painted the indentations black, except for the R which is obviously red. Kind of a neat detail.

I've done this on numerous bike parts. You simply fill the indentation with paint and once it's dry you wipe over the part with a little paint thinner to remove any excess you may have gotten outside the grooves.

I'm getting old enough that I just can't keep up with two.
Just because you have a cool looking knob does not mean I want to see a picture of it. This is a public forum ya know. :smile:

I say polish with maxuim compound to get the best shine and to hell with the directions
Nothing Lasik can't cure. Then you'll be able to see what you're polishing. :badgrin:Jim5081 said:enough with the knob. You want to go blind?
I haven't let a stranger touch my knob since the mid-eighties.
The '01's were not painted but some have added color with paint or a Sharpie.00lightning said:I'm confused when you guys talk about detailing the shift knob. Do some of the knobs not have the numbers painted in black or do you consider painting the R red qualify as detailing. The numbers on my knob are already black.
Is the knob coated in clear from the factory? Somehow I managed to put a small scratch on it and wanted to rub it out.

The new members need to know the finer points of detailing. :smile:

As spring come along and the weather warms, more and more Bullittheads will be detailing their knobs on a more frequent basis. :smile:
Get her involved. Ask her to detail your knob for you!:wink:stevesfordgarage said:But I can't quite understand the really strange look I just got from my wife when I told her, "Honey, I'm gonna go detail my knob!"
Jimbo,
If I were you, I would try the Jimmy Ray procedure. This should work perfect for you. :lol:

I was thinking about this yesterday. Detailing the knob is a great thing for the young or old.
Bullitt Nationals coming up. All the more reason for polishing the knob.
Any special tips Chuck?

You're right Greg. Five days before I leave so I better get started. Here's hoping I finish by the time registration starts next Sunday. Nothing beats a polished knob at Nats!
