Quote: Love the whitewalls. The whole bike looks great. Its funny how when i got into motorcycles everything had to be shiny and chrome but now that is changing. I like the flat black and the blacked out look altogether. What would be really nice would be some old fashioned hot rod pinstripping. That would set off the tank and fenders. A little red and white would be great, but that is just my opinion. Jack
I think the blacked out thing is backlash from the obsession with chrome from all the years in the past. Every bike you buy now has chrome on it, so people want it the opposite. Of course theres ALOT of bikes coming already blacked out now too...im sure my kids will be into chrome and my grandkids will like rust and primer..ahah
If i put pinstripes on it, it'd be someone elses bike i think. I'd honestly like to paint it satin brown or army green to be a tad bit different.
Trouble with chrome is, you spend more time polishing it than you do riding it! Give me a bike you can wipe over with WD40, jump on and ride any day.
Aint that much chrome, and Im not polishing it everyday trust me. And plege works great over wd-40...haha
