Put it all together today. Powder Coated wheels, New Floating Rotors and Pads up front, New Pads in Rear.

Looks a lot better and the wheels will be so much easier to keep clean. Nice to have some solid stopping power without all the vibration I was getting from my warped rotors.

***** Shiny did a great job on the powder coating!

I like the Black powder coat, I think I'll do mine as well when I put new tires on, I'm blaking out parts little by little. going to take some chrome to powder coat this winter.

I’m hoping I didn’t catch the black out bug? I got more performance mods to do before I “Paint it black”.

If chrome don’t get you home? What would one say about black?

I been thinking about using ***** to exchange my knuckle wheels to chrome. I got the forks on exchange from him and they still look great after 5 years. Been on the fence on the wheels just because of the thought of keeping them clean. I feel they would be easier to clean then the stock knuckles.

Black wheels would look great on your bike... Just my .02¢

If you have the time,cut every 7th spoke out,starting with a spoke next to the air valve. You now have a custom wheel that is much easier to air up..
