Finally got around to putting on some of my powdered coated parts on. Gloss black- cam cover, side tranny cover and primary cover. Got the heat shields done in satin black. They were really dull looking before. Got a set of gloss black triple trees but haven't put them on yet.

 

Great looking bike. Where did you get the set of gloss black triple trees?
Thanks and have a great day.

 

I bought the triple trees off Ebay then had them powder coated. Most of the parts I buy off Ebay or Face Book then have them powder coated and put them on my bike. Then get those parts powder coated then sell them.

 

Great bike Dalt10, but I do not see black trile trees only upper fork covers that are black.

Did the same thing on my Breakout 2 years ago but now I'm in doubt to remove them and powder coat the triple tree in black.

 

Thanks. I have a set of powder coated triple trees but haven't put them on yet. Don't have a jack is the only reason I haven't took the front end apart yet. I have black vinyl on the tubes between the trees right now.

 

I'm curious about the result from the black tt's, I made alu covers and powder coated them black but was in doubt before I made them. If I powder coat the tt there
is no way back. I did some photo shopping but still not sure. I'm not blacking more things out and there is a lot of chrome on the bike so I'm searching for something
in the middle.

 

This was the "photoshop" I did before making the covers,

 

Lucky I have an extra set of trees ready to go on. If I don't like them I can put them back. But will probably leave them once I put them on. Not sure if I will put the vinyl back on or not. I'm not a big chrome fan. I saw a burgandy Street Glide blacked out (before the SG Special came out blacked out) and thought it looked good. so I started going that way with mine. Trying to find the right tank emblem to put on now. Found a guy who makes CVO emblems in different colors. Might go that way. Got a lot of stuff blacked out now. Bought the mirrors, clutch and brake levers in black. Still want to do the rocker boxes and push rod covers. List is getting long.
1. Fender struts
2. rear turn signals
3. rear brake pedal
4. Inside and outside shifter levers
5 Horn cover
6. cam cover
7. primary cover
8. side tranny cover
9. CVO risers and speedo cup
10. Head light trim piece
11. upper belt guard
12. exhaust

 

So, this happened over the last couple weekends:





Don't know if I’m the first to do it, but if anyone else has done the swap they’re sure keeping it a secret! I couldn’t find any information anywhere, so I just had to bite the bullet and try it. Found a Fatboy next to a Breakout at a dealership and took enough measurements to determine it “should” work. It’s not a direct replacement (it may be for 2018+ Breakouts, it probably is but I’m not sure), but it’s not too bad. I’ll do a separate thread on the swap if there is interest. Basically nothing changes on the brake side, but the Fatboy wheel on the pulley side is about 1/4” wider, so you need a different spacer and a different pulley to make it all line up (without machining anything). Haven’t ridden it yet, but pushing it around the garage nothing is rubbing or dragging. Not anticipating any problems, but time will tell.

I also picked up a fat spoked radial laced front, going to see how that looks with it. For now I just plasti-dipped the stock front to get an idea of what it would look like if I stripped it to bare metal like the rear. Might still do that anyway.

 

After seeing it, I think it should be kept a secret, but as long as you like it....
