NT black out kit
i was talking to a LD today about throwing the engine/tranny blackout parts froma night train on to a custom or maybe other ST model, but he was telling me they don't sell a kit like they do for the chrome parts. where is the best place to get these? ebay? Or would it be cheaper to just powder coat the chrom (seems like a waste of good chrome parts)? how hard is the changeout? the dealer made it seem like it is kind of labor-intensive..

Buy the take offs from a standard. Have them powdercoated. Sell your chrome covers. You will likley at least break even.
Powdercoating isn't expensive. This bike had 13 pieces done. It only cost 350 bucks.

There is an Enamel Spray paint that is made for engines and pipes to withstand the heat. I accidently scratched the rocker covers on my trains engine when I removed the tank. I used the Low gloss enamel to touch it up and u can;t tell the diference. I mean I only did part of the top not the whole piece and still there isnt a difference. I say poweder coat what u want and spray paint the rest. thats what I would do. A few layers should do the trick. Its made for the heat. I was just so happy I was able to fix it up. By the way I did try on a piece of metal first to see what it would look like once dry. Compared them and Bamm I went for it. Glad I did. Its the paint can u can get at any auto parts ill try and post the name and pics.

i am in the process of making the purchase on an 07 custom. the reason i am spending more and not getting the std. is because of the black/chrome engine and the blacked out engine body on the custom. i really like the blacked out look over the chrome.

Wouldn't it be easyer to buy a night train and make it look like a custom?

RE: NT black out kit
i don't know which way is cheaper. the night train's bars and seat would have to go right away, therefore racking up a good sized service cost. with the custom I can throw the balcked out parts on there for less that the price of the bars/seat...at least I figured it would be less. Maybe not. I guess that is something I should find out.
