I agree, it's gonna look great. It would cost me too much to change from white to black. I stand out like a sore thumb as it is, but that makes it easier to spot in a crowd..[8D]

That would look sharp! There's still just a little chrome left to accent just right.

I have a few items I will be taking to the powdercoaters.

I have my crash bar black, and will be taking in my handlebars, lower fork legs, upper fork covers, axle covers all in to be powder coated gloss black.

i am thinking about powder coating my rear grab handle black as well. What does everyone think about this?

Any ideas on how it might look?



I will be leaving my chrome license plate blinker bar though.
That's going to look sweet brother!

Deven,
I feel your pain, planning on knowing the local PC shop real well this winter. Plus I am painting the inner fairing gloss black also.
