Caught a break in the weather last weekend, fired up the wood stove and slapped on some recently coated parts. Posted a question regarding black shields w/ chrome pipes several weeks ago - no examples avalible at that time...Here ya go

Thanks Swoop_In for runningparts to the shop for me while I was down w/ a rotator cuff repair!!!

Very nice.
I think that you made my mind up for me.
Did you paint them or are the powder or ceramic coated?

 

Thanx BlueShift,

Powder Coated - figured it was a relatively cheap experiment.

 

Boggie If ya didnt already know just some input, The wide glide front heat sheild is the same as the Street Bobs with out the knotch for the mid controls. It's like 45.00 Just a thought for later. Trotter

 

Looks good. Now all you need are some black SE pipes.

 

let us know what happens w/ that coating, everyone i talked to said that the powdercoats on the market today won't survive much past 400 degrees. those sheilds near the heads are gonna get quite a bit warmer than that!

 

Yep - have the PN jotted down. Like Waterman stated, I want to wait and see how the coating holds up before I purchase the WG shield ($20 to coat both shields). I agree, unless you remount the mids, the notch looks funky!

The wrinkle coat works great for my bike - it always dirty due to the limestone roads out here in the sticks. Kinda develops a 'patina' and beats the hell out of dusting the chrome when I reach my paved destination.

 

Boogie,
Your bike looks Bad *ss! Pefect blend of flat, gloss, and chrome. Im going for a similar look myself. I've got my scoot apart for a WG front end and some powdercoating,moneys tight and the barns cold, ... I'll post pics closer to March. Take care ......... Dan

 

Hey Boogie, thats nice.
I was thinking of doing something similar, i was going to drill about 6 one inch holes in the covers and paint it with bar-b-que paint, so you could see the crome pipe underneath, and stick on my black HD slipons, only problem is, there are too quiet as standard, i would need to drill out the baffles.anyway, now i have seen yours i think i wil give it a crack, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

 

I think you just made up my mind, too.

Somebody suggested I do that, but I couldn't get it in my head what it would look like...

Now I know. Thanks, man!
