Whats parts are you talking about? Some people would trade black motor covers and maybe a little cash for your chrome ones. The stupid parts like ac cover, horn cover, battery band etc., you can paint those without kicking yourself.

What would be the best way to do heat sheilds? What is the paint that you would suggest? JRK i have read a lot of your stuff and like what you have done with your bike. Thanks for all the good advice and the inspiration

if you do paint them... scuff them up agian wiht 400 gritt... then shoot them with heat paint... make sure it is the 1200* NOT the 500*... 1200* is the one you want... do not clear after you shoot them it just flakes off...
personally i am a fan of coating heat shields rather than painting them... but hey $$$ does not always agree with that and a can of heat paint and some sand paper is def cheaper... as with any paint.. prep prep prep... take your time dont rush it and you will be golden!
