So, I've got my 09 Xl1200L with the White gold pearl and Pewter pearl color scheme.

I've got a great mental picture of what i want the bike to look like and i've given myself a budget and timeframe to get it all done in,

I've decided to swap out as many black painted parts as possible and go with Chrome or White that matches the tank and fenders.

One idea i had was having the (black) frame media blasted and powder coated to White. I'm just not a fan of the standard black frame.

Just looking for some opinions on it and wether you guys think the juice is worth the squeeze (i'll be doing complete disassembly and reassembly myself as i'll prolly have to ship the frame off for coating.)

And i know that its my bike and if i wanna paint it then of course its a good idea, but i'm just looking for ideass and any pro's and cons you guys can think of.

Also if anyone knows a good company that will do the full service (correctly not shade tree style) that would be a plus too!

thanks in advance

 

I love color matched frames. I wouldn't care about the juicey squeezer or whatever. If it's going to set it off it doesn't matter.

I agree....always been a big fan of color matched frames. I say go for it.

 

Yup, I vote to go for it, that was probably the best feature and the first thing I noticed when I saw the Rocker for the first time.
