Well, came to a major decision. I'm ditching all of the glossy 80's black stuff and going flat "satin" black with those parts instead. I already did the frame and the wheels (rims and hubs) are getting powdered the same way as I write this.
I'm trading the new powder-coat guy out in a swap for some clean engine covers that he will do in flat black and he's keeping my old Glossy ones.
That just leaves the triples, lower forks, battery tray/tool tray and rear swing arm to get re-blasted and re-coated.
I'm not overly concerned with time at this point. Bike is almost done and I will be riding it as id for a few months before everything is complete anyway.
ON that note...I also decided on the gauges and lights as well as a few other tasty bits.
Getting these gauges:
You will note that the speedo has the idiot lights built in which means I'm ditching the stock indicator bar panel for this:
Next, I decided on a different set of lights. Getting the dual headlight dominator lights in Black.
In fact I'm even using the same brackets in the pic.
Also, Here are some more pics of the bike!
