Thanks everyone!
Now the last thing I have to fix is those chrome pipes. They are WAY too shiny for my bike. I am going to strip the chrome off and see how they look in bare nickel. If they dont look good like that, I will oxidize them and then clear coat them. We'll see.

That looks really good bud. I'm not a big fan of the gold thing except in the toofs.

I like that look a lot, but I dont know if it would look good on my pipes. I really love my pipes and dont want to change them.

I would love to, but it has been snowing for about a month now. I dont know about your part of the UK, but you cant ride in the heart of winter around here...at least not THIS winter. That's why we work on our bikes now.

In regards to your front end shock...
Were you able to paint the whole shock body?
I would like to pull mine off and sandblast it and repaint gloss black. Is this possible??

Yes, I was, and yes it is. When you paint it, just make sure it is in the elongated position. The walls dont actually touch each other, so you dont have to worry about it scraping the paint off.
