Awesome! Is the silver painted on or is it exposed metal with a clear coat?

Why does it seem that it's usually someone who has been on the site for hardly any time that thinks they can tell everyone else what they have to do??!!

Tins looks good but not on the Night Train.Would look real good on Custom with lots of chrome.I think a transparent black to still see the raw metal would kick on a Train.
Damn Mike chill out.

I like it and the brushed metal approach is getting more popular. The only thing that would have made it better IMO would have been a pattern to the brushed metal instead of the random scuff lines. A handheld polisher with a 2 inch circular abrasive pad would have made a nice fishscale type brushed pattern, just as an example. The possibilities are endless.
Color selection and the "real flames" within the flames is a sick concept. Sweet!
Getting everything powder coated in gloss black, and adding something like Battistini forwards in a gloss black would bust it out on that bike.
