Default So I'm going crazy on powdercoating...

I was originally going to either polish my wheels or chrome them out. **** that. Black is where it's at. So now I decided to gloss black pretty much everything from the wheels to the frame. Here is a preview picture... feedback is much appreciated. I'm also going to throw the CF rs3 on.

The wheels from the factory are a gloss black... but not in the middle for some strange reason? I'm also debating on the vortex triple tree and vortex adjustable rear set in anodized black.


Current minus the black double bubble and CF frame sliders:

that yosh slip on photochop is awesome
otherwise, it looks sweet, but i'd personally go with a flat black on the frame.

Looks good, I would also go flat black on the frame, and I think the rs3 would look great.

You can put me down for flat/matte black too.

I, personally, would like something that would stand out like white or a fluoresent color. Stunt pro Joe Brown's dark blue 929 w/ white frame is hott!!!! I'm just too lazy to take my bike apart to do something like that. But I am getting the rims fluoresent yellow. Woohooo!

put some inverted forks from a 750 on instead of ripping them apart and powdercoating.

I don't think he meant for it to look blue. I think he wants it shiny black, but couldn't get photoshop to make it so.

I for one think the shiny black would look cool. It'd be different.

Yep... that's as close to a gloss black as I could get. I wanted to go flat black at first... we'll see.
