Default I was a dumba$$

Was out in the garage messing around last night and my wife come out and there and was looking over my bike and made the comment to me of... Why didnt you have the footpeg mounts powdercoated while you were getting your wheels done...I remember looking at those while I was pulling the wheels off and saying to myself I need to get those done too... So now I am contemplating getting them powdercoated or getting chrome ones...Cant decide on which would look better... Any suggestions...

your wife said "footpeg mounts" when referring to your actual footpeg mounts?

when my girlfriend looks at my bike it's usually "why don't you paint that thing like you did the other thing?"

I was thinking that too, and maybe get the chrome for the front.

Mine just says, "Stop taking **** off or you'll never get to ride it."

Gloss black for sure.

LOL... Mine learns the names of things because when I mention something she looks it up to see how much money I have to spend on it...

I agree, gloss black. I think the chrome ones would stick out and seem out of place.
