Default 2012 Switchback...and forth
Had this bike for almost 2 years now and wanted yet another vibe for it.

Added a black Bassani exhaust (kept the chrome one as per my sig. link) and added a set of black contrast Progressive 430 shocks. Notice the exhaust tip and the cap on the shocks. Pretty much looks like Progressive and Bassani collaborated, to me.

Now gotta decide whether or not to get a set of black fender strut caps to finish the look. I can now change from chrome to black in about an hour.
Still need a rack for one-up as that's about all I do.

anyway...here it is:




Probably should also get a black chain guard as well for this side?

Thanks man, I like your black struts too! did you powdercoat or?
It gives an appearance of the back being lowered to me without actually lowering it and losing travel. I like that and think it would have similar effect on mine..

I think I'll digest the look for a while before moving any further forward.

Remove your chrome covers and you'll have what we have for black struts.
