Crossbones front shock absorber - Black
Has anyone found a black front shock absorber for the Crossbones? I did a search and saw some talk of it but no answer. I hate chrome but mostly think a black one would look good and make the springs stand out a bit more. Any help/pics would be great.
Thanks

This post has come up a few times before and ends up the same. Paint or PC.
Personally I like that little bit of chrome up there.

Yeah, from what I had searched and read I pretty much figured that. Just figured I'd take a shot. Not sure I want to paint/pc.

I saw a black front shock
Big Fig,
Check out the post from our member selling the Crossbones with the sidecar (Hack). He has several photos of his setup, most importantly, a pic of his custom, black, exposed-spring front shock. Great looking and much different than powdercoating the stock unit.

I am almost done transforming mine now. It is pretty easy to work with. It even has a loop to stick your hanging wire through. I was told not to powder coat it because the heating process would **** it up. I stripped off the chrome, stained it bronze, and am now clear coating it. You could just as easily paint it black the same way. I'll post some picks when it is done.
