Default Rocker C Black-Out Kit...

Just bought a 2009 Rocker C. I am trying to find a black-out kit for the engine. I can find dress-up kits everywhere, but absolutely no "dress-down" kits. Can anyone out there help...

The engine should be blacked out aside from the chrome outter primary cover and that's pretty easy to fix with some powder coating..

Powder coating is the only thing I can think of. Or like he said get a night train.

Bike's looking good Rail, what else are you going to do with it? You gonna do the whole engine?

MIKE I like that air cleaner alot man. Wonder what that would look like against my black.

Looks good so far. I would think PC would be the way to go.

powder coating is your friend, avoid anodizing it turns purple on heated parts. anything you do is a step up. the problem with those grey engines is that the parts are all different shades of grey because they are all manufactured in different places. not so noticeable on black engines....

buy the wrinkle black parts seperately, that is the only way to do it. i installed wrinkle black primary, derby, cam, and tranny covers from a night train on mine. i did not do the rocker box covers or the top tranny cover. that would entail more r&r than i want to do.

good luck
