That bike is hot looking. I especially like the mat black frontend. Also a fan of 2 into 1 pipes. I'm a stock commuter these days (old guy now) but have done alot of this kinda stuff to bikes in the past. Keep up the good work but you know, it's never really "done" once you get started on customizing!!

thanks All the body parts, forks, bars, controls are Gloss. The cases are factory matte and the pipe is basicly flat black. Fork springs/10wt oil are the best upgrade for this season for sure. Bike tracks and rides waaay better even w/ my junk tires.......those are next.

Looks Hot! did you send everything to get painted- or did you do it yourself? Did you paint right over the chrome?

Most every thing is powder coated. Any plastic is just painted. I just took 600 wet and scuffed up anything I painted. The powder coat requires the chrome to be blasted off. I know some folks here take that as a mortal sin.
