Anyone running a blacked out front end?

Anyone change over to a blacked out front end vs going chrome on a RKClassic? I am thinking about it for my 08 and want to see some pics if anyone has it. Also, has anyone gone with a black a/c cover to match their bike? Pics? Thanks guys/gals

RE: Blacked out front end

P/M me your email address and I will send some pics over of my blacked-out 2004 RK Custom. I've had almost every piece of chrome powdercoated, except for that nice, shiny v-twin engine in the middle. And trust me...take your parts and have them powdercoated. Yeah, a little more time involved, but way, wayless money.

And a blacked-out front end looks gooooooooooood!

It ain't a RK but it's getting blacker (is that a word?) every day-- including the air cleaner. I agree with Bastard on powdercoat. Find a good shop and take your parts in for coating.

DAWG, I forgot you did that to your bike. Are those H-D black parts? I am going to compare the powder coat to the replacements and see what I like best. I knew I could count on you to post something. Just curious, do you have a job or are you hired by the forum as a consultant
