Okay i had my tank powder coated after i sanded it raw. Only now it just looks like bad silver paint. So i need to have it sanded again and put on a light clear coat. So today i decided to wrap the tank to see if i like it.

I'm on the fence. What do you guys think, matte black or raw?

 

If any scooter in the entire HD line should be offered in denim black, it's the Forty Eight. Go figure?

(I'm saying I the matte black).

 

RAW, your losing details with anymore flat black. Looking kind of washed out. I think a little brass would look nice with all the black.

 

Kinda digging the raw. Maybe paint your header wrap black.

 

Raw... That's my vote. The powder coat just needs to be wet sanded and buffed by a painter and it will be all glossy.

 

Yeeep! the raw

 

take your heat shields off and rewrap your pipes

 

Flat Black if your leaving the pipes wrapped.

Raw if your going to change the pipes...

With the Raw, Pipe Wrap, Flat Black tins and Brown seat there is alot going on.

I dont like the pipes, but its your bike. If it were me I would go raw tank and black pipes. Either way its not horrible...I could get use to it either way...not that it matters...lol

 

Thanks that really helps... I got you message on one of my last posts but I've seen your bike and reserve the right not to trust your judgment...

 

Seems that is the thing now, rust, natural or flat
I prefer black.
