I have tried to search this topic but have yet to really get the answers im looking for. My recently acquired nightster simply isnt black enough. Has anyone had the primary cover and/or other engine parts powdercoated. I Really like the look of the 1200r motors that are fully black unfortunetly i dont plan on getting my cases done. A little too much work imo.

Any help ideas or links on how to do this would be appreciated. My main concerns are the two side covers and the aircleaner.

Thank you ahead of time.

Also anyone know where to get black bolts??/

 

mine are just painted took them off and preped them really good and painted away been on for 2 weeks and no sign of paint lifting or peeling

I with ya, I never could figure out the grey on a Nightster when the black would look so much better.

 

So did you put new gaskets on when you took them off? Also what kind of paint did you use??? thanks for adding pics i definetly like the look.

Road head how many miles are on your motor.... i'll swap yah. lol

 

With winter coming up why not take off what you want black and have them powder coated after you put it away.

 

Im assuming either way i need to have new gaskets ready?

 

Yes i installed new gaskets although the stock ones looked to be very good yet, i used Wrinkle black from PJ-1 coatings

 

a $3 can of rust-o-leum here. no prep, looks great.

 

Cheap can of flat black I had laying around for my A/C.

Might do the side cases over winter.
