I am in the middle of making Chrome Lady and I new shifter linkages. I had some aluminum that I cut, powdered wrinkle black. I am engraving it tomorrow. One tribal pattern for her bike. One of something for my bike. I can send you pic after to show you. I can inscribe whatever you want into it.

FYI, You cannot anodize steel or stainless steel parts. The best option for Steel or stainless is powder coat.

Default RE: advice

the prob with just getting a linkage and powdercoating it is that i dont want it all black i want some contrast so it will pop out against the black primary, cases, and jugs. but trying to two tone something with powdercoat leaves a rough edge where you mask off the chrome/aluminum or whatever/ pro-one makes some linkages that are close to what i might use i just dont like ANY of the designs, not into webs, flames and their skull linkage SUCKS IMHO. i was thinking about buying one then turning it over so you could only see the back side. their black anodized have some cutouts that look silver/chrome. california customs also makes some that i could get buy with but same thing. its either powdercoat it all black (and have it disappear against rest of bike)

Here are the two I made. One for Chrome Lady's bike, a tribal pattern to match her paint, and the other for my bike.

It was black wrinkled powdered and then remachined patterns into them.
