24v...how's the powder coating on your pipes holding up? there was a thread on here not long ago asking about that and there were a few different opinions on how the heat would affect the powder...


I would like to do mine up gloss black...

Not as well as I had hoped. It is starting to change right near the heads.

I think one of the best and simplest mods I've seen you guys do is the blackline dash. That simple change just makes the BO look so much better. Of course, jimstang's emblem reuse mod is awfully hard to beat. carry on...

The last stuff for my apes has finally left Germany. I'm not sold on the mirrors but if I don't like them I will go back to the Arlen Ness mini ovals.

It's illegal here to run without indicators here to the point they can confiscate your bike until you fix it. Hopefully the bar end signals look alright. Picture below is straight from the Thunderbike site.

I'm searching for better mirrors too. I'm 6'4" and couldn't see a damn thing in the factory mirrors except my own arms. I bought the HD "Tribal" mirrors. They're a little better (because they're longer/wider than the factory mirror), but there has to be a better option.

I'm thinking about a rectangular bar-end mirror. Anyone else try that yet?

So what mirrors are you going with? The rectangular chrome ones in the third photo? Who makes them?
