That will look great. Looking forward to the pics. Fwiw, a buddies Road Glide CVO has chrome lowers and contrasting dark grey cow bells. Looks great.

 

Thanks....the best part is that it only cost me $10 and less than 45 minutes! I sanded the lower legs with 400 grit, then used 4 coats of filler primer, sanded with 600 grit wet, then used 4 coats of Rustoleum Gloss Black. It looks like powdercoat

 

that is what i plan on doing,did my whole front end on my '06 while it was apart for a lowering kit 6.turned out great and lasted 4 years!

 

I blacked out my forks with Plasti-Dip. About $6.00 for a can of the stuff. It comes off easy if you don't like it/want to change it, but it stays put quite well if you don't bang on it with a wrench or sumpin'. Since the forks get more abuse from aeronautical arthropods and small bits of naturally occurring mineral aggregates, I opted to give 'em an additional coat of spray bed-liner. It is quite durable, but if you want to remove it you still can with a bit of elbow grease. Without the bed-liner the Plasti-Dip will come off in a big sheet.

Did the same to the crash bars, too. And the headlight trim...and the aux lights.

Couple of youtube videos about application and removal of Plasti-Dip.



(I have no financial interest in Plasti-Dip, etc. I simply like the stuff and think that everyone else should like it, too. )

 

I have used Plastidip on several projects including the lower forks, wheels and other bits and pieces on my previous bike (07 Suzuki Blvd) as I like the stuff as well. The only thing about it is that the finish comes out "flat black" or semi gloss (even with their clear) and like you mentioned, its a bit "delicate".I went with Rustoleum because my forks had a lot of pitting, so I went with paint for durability and shine. Heres a pic of the Suzuki plastidipped lowers and wheels.

 

Here ya go, black powder coat lowers, polished upper

 

Well, its done....new tire on, grabbed some krylon red and gloss black and a can of clear..took the fender off, a little sanding a wipe down and here we are.after the clear it seemed to loose some gloss, but i am doing a fender drop kit and wheel in the winter so i will re-do after i get some riding in.glad i did it, but now i want to add some more black! Lol!!! So we will see what the winter brings.thanks for the pics and advice guys!!!
