Anyone out there ever re-coat their motor a different color?
I really like the black powdercoat with chrome trim. Is this do-able or is it too expensive to make it worth while.

Thanks,

V

 

Put enough chrome on it and it won't matter. If you ever upgrade to a stage 2, get your cylinders diamond cut while they are off, that would look really good too.

I don't have the cylinders cut at this point, but I've covered a lot of the silver powdercoat

The first pic was before I added the chrome oil tank and the chrome transmission top cover

 

Silver and chrome looks better than black and chrome IMHO.

 

I like black and chrome, oh, yaw was talkn' bout tha firebox.

 

Nice work on your bike Mojo!
Looks Great. Yours too ICUT1.
Is it better to have pices chromed or buy the chrome engine kit from HD?

 

I've been toying with the idea myself. But I figured I would wait until I rebuilt the motor. Perhaps in another 20K-30K miles.

Hay Dave, did you have any issues with those Big Shots when you put them on? I'd put them on hold cause, per the V&H website, they don't fit the standard. They look good and on a good looking sled too.

Thanks!

I went through the same ordeal. As you already know, according to the V&H web site they don't fit. So I called V&H tech support and got the same story. They said they would hit the forward controls.

The parts guy at my dealer (BTW, he's not your average parts guy, he knows his stuff) swore up and down they would fit and that I could return them if they didn't; so I went ahead and bought them.

Long story short, they bolted right up; no modifications necessary.

Good luck,

Dave

 

Thanks Dave, think I'll put them on the wish list for next winters project.

I just took parts from an 06 night train to do my engine black, bolt on worked great, now what to do w/ the left over chrome......?
