OK...This may be a dumb question, but I have been considering "Blacking-Out" my front lowers as pictured here, but a buddy of mine said that he had seen it on a bike that had been done a couple of years earlier, and that over time, the black was showing wear badly (from the uppers) and that it looked worse than if it had never been done at all. Any comments from the guys that have already done this? Does the black wear off or scratch over time????

LP...Good Point....I never thought about it like that. On your bike is the front end paint or powder coat?

It's powdercoated. Cost something like a whole 150 bucks for all four pieces. Got it off ebay...
