Midnight Blue really is a great color. Almost black in most light, but not quite. I plan on PC’ing my dash console as well. I also want to blacken the gauge trim, but not sure how that will happen yet. Also debating between gloss like yours, or more semi or matt finish like the pipes. Also plan on converting to a black Heavy Breather and black T bars. Eventually I’ll get the fairing painted as well, but that will barely be noticeable I expect. May not be worth the $500 I was quoted by a custom paint guy by me.

anyone got new tires yet? the scorchers grip very well, but mileage is about 8k miles, which does not impress me. I'm looking at night dragons or me 888's. I expect the dragons will grip even better than the scorchers, and about the same mileage. I'm guessing the 888's will go 10k maybe... anyone know?

About tires, those you mention don't come in bias in our sizes. I don't think the scorchers gripped well but they did wear nicely at 8,000 miles.

Which one? I want to see it. I'm thinking about getting one. I'm partial to the black one with the red and blue.
