Voted black guards but totally agree that the engine would have priority IMO.

I think with the current engine color the exhaust looks best the way it is.

I think it looks nice as it is now. Leave it alone. I know weres the fun in that!
Do what makes you happy.

I'm kind of affaird to put my own bike back together because I powdered a lot of stuff gloss black.
Don't know if I'm going to like it when its all back together.
Only time will tell. Still trying to decide on what I want to do with the motor at this point.

Thanks for all the comments!

One thing I should have added is I must do something soon to correct some damage to done by my boots:





So the plan is starting with the Primary case to start pulling covers one by one and,... fixing the blemish.

Now "fixing" could mean I strip the PC and polish them up nice. Or black them... Im not sure how blacking just the covers will look really against the PC'ed block and jugs. Polished covers look pretty good. .. meh dunno

Yeah not a fan of the stock buckhorns either.. I put on some pullback risers to add some comfort for the time being but I definately see new bars in my future.
