I have an 07 street bob with brushed aluminum fender struts. I am thinking about having them powder coated black or possibly buying chrome ones. What would you guys do? Does anyone have any chrome ones laying around that they would like to get rid of? Any help would be apreciated.

Powder coat looks good.

 

I use both....chrome and flat black (were once brushed aluminum) ....i switch them off....last summer i ran the chrome...this summer i'm running the black

...i didn't have them powdercoated....that brushed aluminum is easy enough to sand a bit, prime, and hit with a good paint.... i used Duplicolor High Performance wheel coating.... looks really nice....and it's tough.....

if you decide to paint.... just let them cure for at least a week

 

I had mine powder coated wrinklle black. They look sweet...................

 

You already have a good start on blackness. If your gonna do the fender struts (and I think you should) you should also consider doing the fork lowers and maybe even the trees. Oh, and by doing it I mean powder coat.

 

Agreed! That would balance it out front to back. And with powder coat, you can use the parts as soon as you get them back... no waiting for days (or a week) for drying and curing.

 

Thanks for the help. I think I will have the struts and fork sliders powder coated.

 

I think black powder coat would look killer on your bike..

 

I have an 06 traded my chrome ones for the brushed alum and then had the brushed powdercoated, that way someone that needed the chome could use them.... i am sure there are more poeple that woulddo the same

 

Makes sense to powdercoat.

If you end up not using the brushed ones let me know as I am looking for a set to match my wheels .

Anyone else got a set PM me
