Well, I figured last weekend, so I decided to stop figuring. lol.
What do you guys think about this, we were going to put on a black old school air intake, but today he asked me if I would rather take the RSD intake I have and make all the chrome parts on it gold, like he did with the RSD covers.
I said I think that would be too much gold, but he said the exhaust will cover most of the timer cover, so it will be much more subtle than it looks now. I told him I would think about it, but I am still leaning towards old school black air intake. What do you think?

He electroplated them, so it actually looks like the metal, itself, is that color, because technically now the metal IS that color on an atomic level. I dont know if you could get the same finish with powder coating, although after seeing some of the great powder coating jobs on this board, I'm not so sure anymore.

BTW, he is copper plating my oil tank lines(?) (the metal tubes coming from the oil tank). I'm sure you could have those plated to look like brass. I saw it on another bike, and it looks amazing.

BTW, the guy aint cheap, but after seeing a lot of what's out there, I realized how much this guy is a stickler for high quality materials.
