Looks like... a swing arm? Maybe where it meets the engine? What's that clear plastic thing for? I'm also not quite sure what you're doing.  [cheeky]

You can see it, and now that and the caliper bracket are black.

I agree that modding can go too far, but I don't see how your work has anything to do with that issue  ???

[laugh] Don't you think that putting a vinyl sticker on the eccentric hub is just a little ridiculous?  [laugh]

After seeing your red swing arm, I couldn't resist, here's my mods... (so far)  [cheeky]

I'm thinking Black anodized Headlight bracket, & Exhaust bracket?

Lookin' good!!  [thumbsup]  No need for anodizing...powder-coat is better.  Plus, unless it's hard anodized, black anodizing goes purple rather quickly.

I really love the way you guys finished off your swingarms.  Now, I really want to do mine too.  Is that paint or powdercoat?  How much did that run?

Oh, and about that rear hugger - I say go CF (sorry, I'm a carbonoholic  [cheeky])
