i loved my denim black paint. it is so much easier to clean, and to keep it that way. no worries about swirls. i never got any scratches that i had to worry about. as it ages, it just develops a nice patina to it, whereas a vivid black paint job just looks 'old'.....

Changed the turn signal lenses to smoke today and couldn't believe how much better the entire bike looked. Not sure yet of axle covers. Might throw in a little dab of chrome or might stick with the black. Last mods in this phase will be grips, black levers and black highway pegs.
