Damn that looks good! What tail light are u running?

 

Sorry AdamM, not digging it. Where's the chrome accents? Just one more overdone blacked out bike. I could make my bike look like that in about 10 minutes with a can of flat black rustoleum. But if you like it that's all that counts.

 

Thats okay, to each his own. Not sure if you followed my thread at all, but my whole goal from the beginning was to remove all chrome from the bike. Trust me, it took a hell of a lot more effort than just spraying everything with rustoleum

 

Thank you!

Thanks man! Its a Custom Dynamics with the integrated turn signals

 

No, haven't followed your thread but I like a balance of chrome and black. I've added some chrome and removed some and am almost done on my '04 FXDL. Only need to paint my JD fairing with gloss black and ghost flames, replace the zinc engine bolts with polished ss this week and I'm there. Sure, there are a few things on your bike I'd like to add to mine like the dual discs, and the pipe (in chrome.) But I'm underwhelmed with monochrome bikes. To each their own. If you really want to remove all chrome you need to anodize (or whatever the correct process is) those saddlebag supports, shock struts and brake discs. And move those forward indicators where they belong.

 

Can only anodize aluminum last I knew. I have had a few things plated at work in black. Cast won't take. Turns a smokey gray. My master cylinder cover, clutch lever and brake lever were done in black anodize at work.

 

I appreciate your suggestions. If I were to anodize the saddlebag supports they would scratch and look terrible as soon as I put the bags on (plus they're covered as soon as the bags are on, so it's not a priority). I actually am getting Lyndall rotors, so the brakes will be black also. I've toyed with the idea of moving the signals to the triple tree, but I have an LED light bar mounted there and not sure I want a o=o look to the front of my bike, considering I have the Custom Dynamics "Ringz" inserts. Might be too much in one place

 

That's why I said "whatever the correct process is." There is a process to turn shocks and brake discs black as evidenced by the sport bike products that you can buy off the shelf in black. I'm just too uninterested in doing so to remember details.

 

So am I safe to say not thug club here or did I do it anyway?

 

Maybe not but damn sweet either way!
