I have to give Hankster76 cred for the wheels. Looking at his amazing bike gave me the idea to go in that direction.

Looked at my bike today (yes I had an amazing ride) & compared it with the pic & I believe it's the handlebars that gives the effect.

looks awesome, good job!

what is involved in getting the wheels powdercoated? what prep work was involved, and what did it take to get them back on the bike when they were done?

thanks

Bike looks great. I like the blacked out look with the powdercoated wheels. The bag looks pretty good on there. I have been thinking about getting one for a while but wasnt sure of the look. With all the black it blends in nice. Not sure how it will look on mine but I think I am going to order one. Thanks.

Update,

My new Bitchin seat arrived yesterday. It's their stage 2 (= for a bike lowered 1"). Here are a few pics. To early for me to an expert on this seat but talk to Rich at Bitchin Seat I know for sure he can answer your questions.
