#103788 sos567656765 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 36 de-chromeing bike 3 Weeks, 3 Days ago   I am thinking about doing the opposite of most people out there... I am thinking about taking every chrome part off of my bike and getting them flat black powder coated. Any opinions on how this would look or anyone who you would recommend to do such work?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #103791 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 11834 Re:de-chromeing bike 3 Weeks, 3 Days ago   I'm thinking of having a lot of the chrome painted pearl white myself You can't powder coat the pipes. You would have to have them ceramic coated. If that's the look you want go for it and don't look back!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #103795 Texas Snowman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 27 Re:de-chromeing bike 3 Weeks, 3 Days ago   Me Too Musky.

They look Great. My son Blacked in his xs1100, made it look like a "midnight" edition. It really looks good too. If you want all black, then go for it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #103800 Texas Snowman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 27 Re:de-chromeing bike 3 Weeks, 3 Days ago   I wish I could pay for both of ours. Sorry not any time soon. I always wondered why yamaha does not color code the Black Frame to fit the color of each bike. I know it all boils down to $$$, but I think it would really make the bikes look better.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #103844 javawave (User) Over 16500 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 2143 Re:de-chromeing bike 3 Weeks, 3 Days ago   I have seen several "all" flat black bikes. They look good. Not really my style, but I say most people I have talked too like the look of Flat black.   Logged     img size=450][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #103885 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2476 Re:de-chromeing bike 3 Weeks, 3 Days ago   sos567656765 wrote: I was aware of the pipes and have my eyes on this set here. http://www.roadburner.com/exhaust.asp?ProductID=4314 I think that would look good against the black engine on my new r* I have the Double Eagles only in chrome...
