Wow nice work man! You know you accomplished alot! Thats killer

 

I might be able to don't set it in stone though the way my job is that could change

 

no worries man, just let me know whats up.

 

You did a great job. Looks nice all black.

 

How's the paint holding up? I've got a buddy with a Nightster wanting to do this. Any issues?

 

My local indy shop painted mine about a year and a half ago and I've had no issue at all. All my covers were powder coated, but the jugs etc. were painted.

 

Everthing is still looking great, no issues.....It stills looks the same as if I painted it yesterday!

 

Stupid question, did you have to take everything off and apart? If so, for us newbies, how long did it take? Tired of trying to polish my dead aluminum all the time. Looks sweet!

 

I used this trick when I was painting engine blocks, rear axles and stuff on custom cars:

You go out to home depot or similar and buy about 2 feet of various sizes of thin wall tubing. Then you cut about an inch off, stuff it over the nut. You can stuff kleenex or ?? into the open end so you don't get spray down the tube. Works like a charm.

not so well on pan head bolts etc but if it's a hex head or a cap screw? You're good to go.

Job looks awesome! There's a woman in town who has a 883 who saw my nightster and wants a black engine. I'll send her here and she can read up on it. I told her I'd give her a hand if she wanted......

 

looks great!
