Default It's getting Dark over here

Been adding some black parts. Planning on keeping a mix of chrome and black, really liking the look.


So far I changed out the AC, Ignition & Horn covers, added a mean mug, black axle covers, went with black powder coated stock bars, mirrors & levers, and vinyl wrapped my fuel door, fairing skirt and cow bells. and put on lid bras to give some contrast.

Nice bike. I like the black but there should be chrome somewhere. Contrast is good.

Looks Great.
Yeah I have done some carbon fiber vinyl on my bike as well to give it a different look. Here are a couple of pictures of the carbon fiber vinyl in certain areas of my sled. I also did my license plate frame which turned out really cool, I just don't have a picture of that yet. I get asked about the carbon fiber vinyl all the time. 3M makes the vinyl and the stuff is bullet proof.

Very nice!

I recently wrapped my shift linkage, and was thinking about trying the push rod covers and the trans covers, but wasn't sure if it would get to hot and melt. Any issues with the push rods?

I have had the 3M carbon fiber vinyl on my bike for months now without any issues, zero melting factor. The carbon fiber vinyl is tuff stuff.
