Just reinstalled my blacked out stand and bracket. Not too bad for a hand sanding and rattle can job. When it starts cracking I will remove it and hit the sand blaster and visit a powder coater later on.
Stock chrome setup. Sanded and ready for paint.
Painted and installed.
i like the idea! May try that and paint the wind splitter brackets as well
New year eve ride. Removed handlebar speakers upon returning home
Hey Oscar I think your bike looks much better without them. Also you mentioned painting the Windsplitter brackets. I did mine a few months ago and it looks much better. I left the mount nuts chrome for a little variety.

thanks Vince!
how hard was sanding the chrome off?
Sanding the brackets and side stand wasn't too bad but it's a pain by hand. I used three different grits 150, 220, and 400. I posted a pic of the Windsplitter brackets for you.

Yes sir no problem. I chose a wrinkle black paint for the Windsplitter brackets and gloss black for the sidestand. I probably should have done gloss on the shield brackets but what the heck it's done and I'm happy with it.

Looks sweet,
Does the Wind Splitter use the factory windshield brackets?
