Slowly getting the bike blacked out... I just had the air cleaner and headlight trim ring powdered black. Just figured I'd throw some current pics up...
Just got it 2 months ago and here is what I have done so far... V&H Black Staggered's, Free flow air cleaner, floor boards, and HD reduced reach seat.
Plans are for some type of air box, just haven't seen what I want yet, but either way it will be either in satin billet or satin black. Next some strectched/extened FL bags and some sort of faring (tough to find something that fits the twin headlights) and a detachable sisy bar. Also want a full front fender and possible full stretched rear fender.

Also about as blacked out as budget will allow. On other side, I have blacked out the Stock Air Filter and Battery Box. Pipes are still chrome and will probably stay that way...
Kungpow, what kind of coating did you have put on your fork tubes? Bike looks great..
I suspect it is this... talked about a few pages ago in this thread.

We are applying the DLC right on top of the chrome. But you have to start with the fork tube only. So if you can't dis-assemble the forks down to the tube by itself, then you would need a new set of tubes. The reason for this is that DLC coating is performed in vacuum chamber.
DLC coating is not like paint. It is only 2-3 microns thick and is grown on the base part using a Plasma Vapor Deposition process. The process takes about 6 hours. This is the same coating used on valve train components in NASCAR and F1 engines to reduce friction and improve the wearability on engine components.
