Best way IMO, is to pick up a set of take off lowers and cowbells and send them out to get powdercoated. When they come back, do a swap. Then sell your take offs to the next guy. I did the labor myself so with powdercoating and supplies I had about $125 tied up into it. Or, if you are in a winter climate and your bike is up anyway, take the legs and bells off and send them out and let your bike sit. Less money that way. Although, my take offs that I got to powdercoat didn't cost me anything.

I also threw on the BAH black fork cap to finish off the right bottom of the fork for looks.

Some guy Voodoo something on Ebay and I believe he also a forum member sells these on Ebay for like 120 bucks or so every day. I've bought two sets from him over the last year or two and they are of Good quality.

Thats 120 with no exchange... so you get to keep your old parts. I have three sets of factory bells and Lowers sitting in the Garage. Now sure what to do with them...
