RE: blacked out front end question
Those pegs come with the ability to take the top half off and you can pull the rubber pad out. Some pegs you can't get them apart and if you pull the rubber out and the rubber snaps, you have to buy a new set of pegs, you can;t buy the rubber only.
The signal stalks are easy too. You need a small screwdriver, like the size for eye-glasses. The screw driver you will stick in the holes above the pins and you will push up to release the pins in the plugs. You really need 3 hands for this, my wife helped with pulling the wires out while I worked on the pin release. Once you get the plugs off, the wires will pull right out. Make a diagram for replacing the wires in the right slots later

Yeah, the torx heads will fill up with powder and you won't get the bit back in. I use either "Hot Spots" or I paint the smaller screws with a rattle can, and once in, I can touch them up with a brush.

Hey Road King Kong
That front end looks sweet!!
Is that the PM Gasser? Did the brake rotors come like that?
Or did you powder coat them?
Nice Ride

If you go with composite rotors like Lyndall, you can have the friction ring in black, the buttons in black, and coming soon, the carriers in black chrome. I'll post pics as soon as I get them
