alright.... i know i will hear it, yes i know the heat shields may discolor... but i can also just shoot them again... a buddy said shoot em white so i shot em white... LOVE how it looks! you can see the chrome tip of the baffle sticking out... hell i am even leaving the red under it (reminds me of the old school cherry bombs)
i also took an extra set of turn sigs apart and shot them white while i had the rest in... still up in the air on that one...









HELP ME DECIDE... chrome or WHITE brake light/ running lights
(bear in mind that the seat will be all white as well)

chrome:



White:

I like the white for the break/turn signals. Who woulda thunk you would be whiting out parts on the bike instead of blacking them out? Ahead of the curve.

I would do the seat the same as the frame and headlight....i dont think white will hold up with all the rubbing on the seat....

Exactly! Honestly I was thinking the other day that it was starting to look hodgepodgy, but then you sprayed some more white, and talked about the seat, and I can really see it happening... Lookin good.

don't know much about bikes and I agree on making the lines flow. But I think and I might be wrong.. I think the seat would look great the same color as the frame and headlight. +1 on the white heat shields.
