A work in progress - pipes and engine will still have chrome. Thought it might be an issue with wrinkle, anodized, satin, gloss and Denim but I'm good with it. Planning another PC batch in the fall.

Default Black Exhaust...need advise

I have Vance & Hines black power duals and have water stains on the heat shields. Question: does anybody have a sure fire way of getting the stains off instead of re-powder coating or replacing. Thanks in advance

Question for the guys that have the whole front end blacked out, did you buy the black out parts or did you have the original parts powder coated. I have been told I can not powder coat upper and lower sliders.

Lowers and cow bells are powder coated. You can't do the uppers, but on a touring bike you cant see them anyway unless you are looking from the back side. The cow bells and lower fairing skirt covers them.

I just powedercoated all my parts in a satin black. Some of my hardware is gloss black, i.e., handlebars and tourpack hinges and handles. I think I'm good with the way shes stands now.



How she stands almost 2 years later, just missing my highway pegs.



The day I got her from IronSteed HD.
