OK....I've talked to the guy at Superior (my new client on K-Rock) and we're about to GET DOWN on the powder coating, to make a true showpiece outta the ride...to hopefully get you guys turned on to it and bring him some business -
Problem I'm having is I don't know what'll look good, given the pattern of my tank and fenders... fork tubes....black? red? dunno....
Wanna do something with the wheels, and I'm sure I want to do the swingarm......
open for ALL SUGGESTIONS HERE!!

Do the wheels black. It will look hot with the blacked out engine.

Do the bowl of the head light. Leave the ring chrome, but the black bowl looks hot.

Do the resavoirs and brake calipers black. Your gonna have to get rid of that huge cannon your using as an exhaust and those turn signals need to go also.

yep....V&H Bigshots ALMOST on order -
what to do w/ the turnsignals though.......calipers and res. will look cool though...
CHAD...when you say wheels, do you mean total, or just the edges...? Tryin to picture that....be easier to keep clean for sure...lol
I've never seen one w/ the bowl one color and the ring still chrome....

I think leaving the edges polished might look good, but don't like totally black wheels. Kewlmetal has several choices for mounting aftermarket signals. I like this one with the small Kurys for turns and the large ones for driving lights. "http://bigbikeriders.com/photopost/data/500/2508light_barside_2_cropped_and_red_600-med.JPG"
