no, don't paint the crash barblack... unless... u paint the shole front back to give it a more retro look
Painting it all black would be a good look. Will take more than one can of paint though... lol

Saw a bike last weekend that had round chrome caps on his engine bolts. Looked good.

Cant question some one that has a black bar - chrome it stays.

Have been watching CL and eBay for a tear drop style a/c cover. Would also need the round style hi flo a/c filter. This will take more time and patience. Will research other suggestions - thanks.

Did the sanding, polishing lowers last winter - did keep me busy... lol Looks much better.
Whats funny about the crash bar is it looked great when I had the 16" spoked wheels on the bike. The 18" PM wheels gave the bike a leaner, slightly more stretched look and the bar looks a little out of place. Was trying to hide the bar a bit. Could remove it but every once in awhile people post about their bikes falling over when parked or something...
