Nice

Get that swing arm cover, kick stand, and brake pedal while you're at it

My bad, never mind, you already have that all done!
Haha yeah bud all except the kickstand..

Yeah I figured since the tank is off why not remove and powder the rockers. But they are stuck on there good.

I tried a flat head screwdriver and mallet... but no luck. It just gouged all round the seam but wouldn't lift it.

Ok need help..

The painter cannot match the PPG code 934473 to the manufacturer he uses, Sherwin Williams. Does anyone here know how I can figure out how to get the correct code for Sherwin Williams?

I say Hell Yeah! I would also add, Don't limit yourself to HDs color pallet or even the societal norms. Think outside the box. I did and it made Love my WG even more.

I may have to because the painter cannot cross reference that code.

That's an awesome color for sure, but worth the time & expense....it would not be to me. It looks sick as it is. Leave it be. My $.02.

Alright so here's some pics.. what a sorry looking bike right now








And here are pics of what the rear tail light looks like. It's a vast improvement over the tri-bar LED light, in it's build design.







Also, I had to take the parts back from the one guy.. he just couldn't match the color or get me what I wanted. I took the parts over to another guy. He's gonna do the tank, fenders, fairing, and spoiler for me.

I got the wheels and pulley back from the powder coater.. I took off my rockers and are having them coated black, and I'm gonna have the rotors done black as well. I wanted to originally leave the rotors alone but i think they will look better powdered.

I figure **** it if I don't like it.. there is always next winter!

Now here are two things I'm looking for feedback on... the mini-sissy bar.. keep it or ditch it?

I'm selling my tank emblems to another forums member (pending a sale), and I was thinking about putting these ones on:



For those that see the color every day.. would the red be too off?
