, FL United States | Well, we (my buddy Rick and I) finally have her back together! She is glad that she actually has a REAL name now - Black Cherry. I'll post some pics as soon as I can get her out in the sun light.
We dis-assembled her Tuesday and sent the parts off to our friendly powder-coater Jaimie. We got the last of the BLACK pieces back today and re-assembled.
A list of what I decided to change and to what sort of coating:
Access panel (under the windshield),the 2-piece front "grill",and upper and lower wind deflectors,front pulley cover - done in Black Metalflake
The 2 panels in front of and the 2 panels behind the motor - wrinkle finish powdercoating (to match the front and rear tip-overs and handlebars)
All the heat shields of the exhaust - flat Black ceramic coating
The "M" panel at the very rear of the bike [below the tail-light "V"] - rattle-can Black metallic paint (which matches the Black Metalflke surprisingly well)
I really can't say exactly how much it cost to do all this because it was done by the friend of a friend who runs a powder coating facility and puts through "odd pieces" from time to time for special folks (like ME).

, FL United States | Thank you all for the positive feedback. One thing that you can't see unless in person is the Black Metalflake - it really stands out in the sun. I'm very pleased with the results. |
