ORIGINAL: Finksies

I wish I changed my front fender out like u before I painted the bike, Looks sick! I think black wrap on the pipes would be cool, alittle chrome alittle black. Was it a bitch to take apart all of the fron stuff to get it powdered? I put on my nacelle, but havent tackled into the forks yet.

Its pretty easy taking the front end apart. I've done it quite a few times and I remember even the first time was no problem.

Do the mirrors black, keep the hand controls chrome. Black pipes keep the oil bag chrome, Or black the oil bag and keep the pipes chrome. Looking good though you really don't need to do anything to it but it's hard to stop once you get started with these things. Keep it simple like you have and it will turn out fine
