Man, great job getting it all torn down. You are definately a no BS get er done dude. I have to agree, even though I know Glock was kind of joking, a coated frame REALLY changes the look of a bike sooooo much. It really makes a huge difference in giving the bike that something extra custom look. I hate to say it, but youve already done this much it would almost be a shame not to just go for it and get the frame done. It made a huge difference on the look of my old Fat Boy.

I must admit seeing that picture of your bike with the frame color matched is incredibly tempting and would probably look awesome. I really don't have the desire to rip out the rest of the engine and wiring and all that to do it though.

The engine, floorboards, etc will be all black. The console, bezel rings, cowbells, caliper covers and front lights will be color matched to the bike. The derby cover and timing cover will be two tone.
