Default possible dumb question

Gentlemen... Being new to bikes excuse the ignorance... MY question is in regard to the dyna springs... Looking at the bikes that are all blacked out... do you guys but black springs or just powder coat the stock ones? Thanks

that's what I kind of figured since I wasn't sure how powder coating would react to the compression of the springs

powder coat will hold up just fine it flexes very well... that is wht the black ones are you buy! you just have to dissassemble the shock if you want to powder it!
