if you go chrome you have to do the rims too, and the striped rim look is defiantly better. all black is easier and less expensive for sure. just get the swing arm and the controls and rear sets.

IMO if your goin chrome you have to do it all, Rims, swingarm, sprockets and all the little acces. it just gets pricey then, and you look like everyone else at the beach.

Kinda got a Tony the Tiger look goin to it. Its original and i like that. I would have to agree on blacking out the swing arm, passenger pegs and whatever you have left that is silver. Make it blend into the color scheme. Right now the silver takes away from too look you have goin.

I see your point on the powder coating and I am looking at that but I not sure if I shouold do it black or red. I was going to do black chrome but I might do the swing arm and a few other things in black but I think I will leave a little chrome on it. I don't know that is a long way off still so it gives me time to think about it.

I'd stick with the black on the swingarm cuz u already have a lot of color goin on there and the red swingarm might shove it ova the edge. Plus i'm not sure how hard it will be to color match on the powder coating. I went back and took a closer look at the pics and you really did do some nice work there. I dig what you did on the front fender. Nice

even blacking everything out and chrome rims would be sexy too. best of both worlds, the swingarm should definatly be black though, to much color gives it that fisher price look.

I blacked mine out completely. All except the titanium exhaust. I'm not a fan of carbon fiber so went that way with it. It's getting custom paint right now. I'll be sure to get some pics up when it's done. I like chrome but it's done and done over again. Everyone wants to set their bikes apart and they all end up looking the same. At least you did something with the pinstripe that is uncommon so it really makes it noticeable as a one off job.

Thank you. I have changed the pinstripping on the tires they are now a double yellow lines which you don't see either that much. I think it is almost there. I still thinking of powder coating my swingarm black and just do like the rear sets and pass pegs chrome.
