Default My black out update

been doing a piece here and a piece there since I picked it up new (leftover)on 09/29/15

anyhow, the latest was the crash bars. 1 more thing up front,(signals) will complete the front end.

Still want a console, fender supports, rear pegs & valve covers.

Looks good man. I like the blacked out look. Did you actually get black forks or powdercoat your stock ones?

Very nice!!! Picked up a matching shift peg on ebay for my RGS for $15, half price from the dealership. I always remove the rear shift lever.

Actually, I painted mine vivid Black, and vinyl wrapped the cowbells in denim black.
