If you like the look of the alloy wheels. Personally I prefer the look of spoked wheels even if you do have to run with tubes.

 

Do you have to pull out the engine to do the paint work? (or powder coated)? ? I am looking for any easier way to black it out like yours......Mine is a brand new bike which I am a bit reluctant to pull it apart just yet!!

 

The engine itself was not powder coated (but just about everything else that would come off was). When everything was apart / off for powder coating the bike was taped off and the egine was sprayed in wrinkle black paint. If you are a bit reluctant to take it apart this would not be the way to go for you either because everything was stripped of the bike (basically just a step away from dropping the engine).

 

Get the Iron. It looks better and it's cheaper. If/when you decide the 883 isn't enough get it bored out to a 1200.
