Except the darn hardware, but I guess it does break things up a bit. Thanks to Rich Hammer for the beautiful powder coating job! Next up: front brake line.

Looks awesome. If I ever get some spare cash, I would love to do my wheels like that.

Pwnzor, it might be true. Both bikes, ATV, mountain bike, and car are all black.

Glitch, next year I want black ceramic coat the headers.

Cthagreekgod, no, it's an '09, so the elves did most of the work for me.

Don't ride at night do ya?

It looks killer. How bout making a wrap around cover for the fork lowers. Bolt it between the fender and fork mount. That will make more black. And paint the motor mounts. There's more!

Muffler straps are going to be tough.


Did you do the frame or was that already done?

I do ride at night, and I have black reflective tape on the fork and under the seat rails.


Frame is stock.

The parts I either painted, had powder coated, or bought black are:
-gas cap (a stock CR cap)
-brake lever adjuster knob
-front motor mount
-rear shock spring
-foot pegs
-shifter lever, pivot, and linkage shaft
-rear brake pedal
-idler pulley fork
-front brake line and hardware
-smoked tail light lens w/XBLights LEDs
-axle sliders

I'm going to do the lettering on the air cleaner cover in black reflective on my white 9R. Might do the headlight trim thing too. Cyclegadgets.com is where I bought 8.5x11inch sheets of this black/white reflective tape.

Wish we could get black normal color with yellow reflective and red reflective tapes too.
