since it was a crappy rainy weekend, i was in garage for a while
painted the belt covers, oil cooler, sprocket cover, painted the stock exhaust cans, put on double gold rimtape, and numerous bolts are gold now (engine cover bolts, gastank bolts, handlebar bolts, belt cover bolts and such...)
also, all that emissions CA stuff is off, as well as are all those zipties and such off of the frame, along with the side panels
here are some pics i took to show the progress...( i got a powdercoating machine a while ago, so i will have some stuff done soon)
thx to PO for the tank mod 

any suggestions are welcomed of course

stock exhaust painted

CF pipes back on

Nice job.  Black and gold are a classic combo.  BTW, where are your mirrors?

got used to riding no mirrors when i had my other bike, plus these mickey ones look goofy.
i put on some bar-end ones, but one broke off so as of now its no mirrors hehe

looking nice, i feel we're in for a long winter around here. were the belt covers and headlight rim etc. powercoated by you? were they even powdercoated or just sprayed? when i stop by this winter with a bunch of pieces what are you gonna charge me? ha

lookin' good my friend

What kind of handlebars are those?

handlebars are from sunline.
and none of the parts have been powdercoated yet.  im planning on doing the swing arm, all the bracket, footpegs and all that comes with it, and all the parts that are holding forks that i can remove.

Looks very nice

Pretty sweet. How much would you charge me for PC some bolts gold as well?

What kind of headlight bulb are you running?

Gotta tell you,i really dig that simple things on a bike.I like the combo and the yellow lamps.i would put the rear cowl though,it looks very narrow in the back.I also ride without mirrors,much easier for me.

thx man
i have a stock seat with cowl in the garage, but most of the time i ride i somehow end up with my GF so it would be weird with a cowl hehe
and yeah, mirrors just ruin the lines of the bike, especially these that you cant see out of anyways...

would it happen to be a matte black seat cowl? if so, it would be a shame for it to get no miles on it sitting in your garage......wanna sell it?

I like the stirped down look and color combo on your bike.  Not the biggest fan of the color gold but when you put it with black it just looks right. 

I really want to paint my oil cooler.  What brand/type of paint did you use?

You need to turn the mirror mounts over.
