More upgrades on my bagger with pictures!! 1 Year, 1 Month ago  
Well I have had the past few days off, so I have managed to get some work done on the Roadie. I ordered a set of 10" satin black apes, and some satin black "claw" style mirrors.

I also powdercoated my switch housings, levers, floorboards, risers, and the Barons BAK cover with a textured satin black.

Just got everything put together and wanted to snap some pictures before the sun went down.

Only thing not on as you can see is the grips. They too are getting the texture satin black powdercoating and are currently curing in the oven right now, but I figured it would be dark by the time they are done, so I wanted to get the pictures up first.

I will be blacking out as much as possible, pieces at a time. Next up are the headlight, highway lights, turn signals, and speedometer bezel, however I plan on leaving the trim rings in chrome for accents

I'm probably going to wait till this winter to do the wheels and forks though, its way too nice riding weather to take it down for more than a day

I have no idea, they were on the bike when I picked it up. They are much larger than stock though, and those little rubber buds (there are 20 of them) stick up and really grip nicely.

My only complaint is that the chrome did not hold up, and pocked and peeled after ahwile (again dont know how long they were on there) but no worries now that they are powdercoated!

And here are the pictures of the grips now done and installed on the bike. Let the grip glue dry overnight, and take it for my first run tomorrow with the new goodies.

So apparently a little online research yielded that my floorboards are by Arlen Ness
