Painted the lower fairings and bottom of the bags (blacked out)
« on: July 03, 2011, 08:55:28 PM »
I am a blacked out freak. So I painted the lower fairings and the bottom of the bags.  Reall love the look of it. I was amazed at how much it changed the look of the bike to me. Looks sleeker. Just thought I would share.

I like the look of your painted lowers Tyler!  :thumbs:  Murdered out!!  8)
 
Did you do a metalic paint to match or just a gloss black? I can't really tell from the pics...

You painted a lot more than that... you painted covers, the shaft drive, swing arms, wheels, exhaust, bolt heads, etc.  Pretty much everything.  I don't like it, but to each his own!  You are definitely ambitious :)

Thanks for the comments everyone. Zg they were just done in black. I know my bike isn't for everyone but this is what I love. It matches my m109r which is also blacked out.

Little off topic...

Tyler, could you run thru what you did to paint the final drive, and other misc silver bits? Maybe this deserves a new post, but thought I'd ask, since it looks good in a small picture (same as saying "looks goot at 60mph from 50 yards away" I think).

I wish I was!!! thanks again everyone. If people were thinking of painting their lowers do it. I am amazed at how much just painting the bottome fairings changed the entire look of the bike.
