I ve wondered the same thing there must be something different ,,, icould really handle them a little less shinny, something to dull them up.. i thought about some acid , but thats maybe to harsh. if you come up with something ill be watching. if i come up with something ill post it ..........

Just asked the same thing a few days ago. I'm thinking of painting them gloss or matte black. Gloss black you'd still see them but it would go with the bike better (Night Train). If I don't sell the bags soon I'm going to go ahead and paint them. I'll post pics after I do.

Someone just asked this question....forget where. My uncle with Road King scuffed his with emery cloth, then handpainted with enamel (I think) black. Took forever, but looked great. I like shiny chrome personally, but to each their own....good luck.

I just replaced every stud on my bags. I ordered 200 of them for 20 bucks. Plenty for both bags . Took about an hour and half per bag. I left mine chrome but it would have been easy to lay them out and spray em before i installed them. Sounds like a neat idea.
