Default I blame you guys...
Tearing the bike apart to powdercoat every piece of chrome on it satin black. Bought an entire set of motor covers off the classifieds and have an extra set of lower legs to have done also. Thought I could live with it until next summer, but its just not gonna happen. You all warned me that it would turn into a sickness. I would have been perfectly fine had all you guys not posted your blacked out bikes. Thanks a lot!!!!!!

The best things in life are free and the only thing you get for free is a hard time. It all depends on your definition of a hard time.
