Rearsets & Pegs Powdercoated! (pics)
I had my rearsets & rear passenger pegs powdercoated black to match the frame a little better. Only cost me $35 and it's sort of a wrinkle black.
I just threw these on quickly the other day to get some pictures. I got the fairings off because I'm gonna change out the CCTL tomorrow & I also gotta do a coolant flush this weekend so that's why they aren't the best pictures.
I'm working on a (sort of) "custom" exhaust hanger still & I'm not gonna put the passenger pegs back on (looks cleaner without them). I just had them done to match the rearsets.
I also took the stickers off my rear swing arm & the rear shock reservoir.

A couple things to note......
The black powdercoat doesn't match perfectly....yes, I know that. But for only $35 and the guy is gonna do some extra parts for me for free....I'm not complaining. It's just a local company that powdercoats their products in black & white (only 2 colors they use) and I happened to need black. It stands out less than the silver look of the rearsets before though.
Also....I didn't get the shifter lever or brake level powdercoated. The reason being is that the shifter lever has the pressed/ball fitting on the back &powdercoating would've locked that up which wouldn't work too good, obviously. I could've done the brake lever black, but I wanted both sides to look "equal" so I kept them both silver/aluminum.
Plus the bike will look better with the fairings back on
