%10 loss minimum, maybe more with all the things ya painted black.  I hope some Harley doesn't whip ya :o

Yep, they do look nice, a set of EBC rotors will do ya good, new square drive, nice gold colored cariers should match up nicely.  These rotors are so head and shoulders better than OEM.  So smooth and predictable at any speed, any weather.  Great feel.

The wheels look awesome on the bike and the Angels are very impressive tires.  I added some bedliner to the fairings to balance out the black and silverdammit.  I'm not sure I like it as much as I thought I would but it does make it look a little tougher.

Nice!!  Getting that street fighter look.  That new blacked out area would be a nice place for a well thought out graphic, just not flames, less of course ya like Jeff Gordan ;)  I think you'll find the Angels even more inspiring then the PR2s, especially in the wet.

Sorry Jeremy, I can't say that I like the bedliner on the fairing. The wheels look great though.

While I LUST over that exhaust and love the Angels I cannot say that the fairing would be my choice but if you are happy that is certainly all that matters.  How do the wheels compare as far as keeping them clean?  Glad that you have it all coming together.

Guys, SWMBO required that the power adders be offset with black to help slow things down.  Jeremy is simply making his 14 even stealthier 8)

I'm also not thrilled with the black fairing, but good on ya for being brave enough to experiment.

Keep in mind this is a rebuild. He was trying to make his plastic look better than all the scratches. I think he did great.

I will be keeping my eyes open for some silverdammit fairings to fix my little "experiment".  It doesn't bother me that much since I can't see the fairings while I am riding.   ;D

I almost put on my cut down, stock windshield today, it was nearly 70 degrees and I had a beautiful day to ride.

I like the black fairing. It looks smaller and less bulky than stock.

The wheels showed some brake dust after a long ride today but a quick wipe cleaned them off.  The powdercoat is so smooth that I could probably just use the air hose to blow them off and they would look perfect.  I am glad I went with the gloss.

$130

$50 per wheel for powdercoat and $15 per wheel for sandblasting.  Good deal IMO.

I don't "discriminate" but black has slowed down my bike enough that my C14 is only slightly faster than every other color.  Once you go Silverdammit and black.......... you know that everything else is whack.   ;D
