Paint gets my vote. It's what I'll be doing to mine. Hot Toppers look nice, but I don't want anyone that close to my bike.

+1 on the ace black hardware rusting - I have a couple doing just that.

Rattle can 'em - I did that on the forward control extention brackets - they have held up fine for littel over a year. Going to do the rear pulley bolts next.

The ones at Home Depot don't. Had mine in for about 3 years, and I ride rain or shine.
