320 grit sandpaper... SEM self etching primer(great stuff)...Paint! You can get texture black from H-D for the engine cover parts(good paint), and for other chrome you can go gloss or wrinkle or whatever you choose. Also lean that side plate bracket/light back some! And that Gold is killer, I had some thoughts about doing my bike in gold, decided to redo in flat black though.

funny you should mention the plate, that was an hour and a half job that consisted of several bits of metal, a factory licenseplatte bracket bent up to work, a few zip ties and a chrome license plate cover from the local dealer and a light that was already on the side of the scoot. The homemade sidemount plate was on the bike when I purchased it, it fell off about 30 miles down the road, I ziptied it to the bike till I got home, but got pulled over 2 blocks from the house and got a warning ticket. Anyhow after a couple hours of trying to figure out how to not get pulled over I made this one up! LOL It was a chore let me tell you. Id try to paint things but Im not good enough to get the finish I am looking for right now. I just figured id throw out the offer to see if any one was interested or was local. I love the paagan gold as well, besides it I am also thinking of going Tangelo Pearl orange with the black and a small amount of chrome. I have to keep a little to tie in the dbi forward controls.

Take the crappy looking wrap (IMHO) off your exhaust and jet-coat your pipes black (they might be black already, but I can't tell.) I don't know why people crap up their bikes with that wrap. Don't they realize that **** looks terrible? Only kidding...actually, to be honest I am not kidding. It is in fact, my very humbly offered opinion so flame away if you'd like. Get some sort of black derby, inspection, and points covers for a contrast with your existing chrome primary etc. Otherwise your bike is already a nice mix of black and chrome. I don't know, maybe the triple trees should be black too.

Make them pipe black, black rocker covers, and maybe that battery cover black. On the other side, either the inner primry/derby cover black or horn/electrical box black. That way you got a nice flow. Again, I mean no disrespect, you got a good looking ride, but I think that mummy wrap color contradicts the white with nothing else on your ride, and looks well, not right.
Alright
