More powder-coating happiness....

[Warchild]

So my 2008 K8 has the dark and sinister paint theme - very Warchild-like B) - but the foot-peg and muffler hanger brackets are just too damn bright for me:

So, once again..... it's POWDER-COATING time!!! :lol:

Now, I can't get my silly-ass camera to do justice to how well this powder-coating job came out.... the flash makes the hardware look too bright. But the fact is, the results are an almost exact much to the frame... very nice! The powder-coating finish is basically a cross between semi-gloss and black matte.... very, very, VERY close to matching the frame!

Muffler hangar brackets:

Pillion footpegs..... very nice! B)

Left muffler hangar bracket installed....

The right muffler hangar below is the best photo showing the exact match to the frame color.... awesome!

Foot-brake lever and the 3 big-ass socket-head bolts (that retain the foot-peg bracket itself) also got the powdercoating treatment:

Pillion foot-peg installed.... very sweet! B)

Still have the shift linkage to shoot tomorrow, than I can start putting the bodywork back on this bad boy, and finally get back on the road!

What'cha think, fellas.... pretty cool, huh?

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Your bike is black

And Kudos to you

And I'm green with envy!

Good choice Warchild....

Ah, it's good to see you've gone over to the dark side! Very well done!

 

[Checkswrecks]

I like it.

How about an "after" photo to go with your "before?"

The bike is still torn apart to install Spiegler SS lines. Will post up a photo when it's all back together.

Looks like fac'try. Good job!

 

[dcarver]

but what about the gay-ass chrome on the muffler?

If'n you're going stealth, gotta go all the the way black... :rolleyessmileyanim:

As I've mentioned several times, the stock exhaust is not staying.

When cashflow allows for it (which won't be for a number of months), it'll be replaced.... I'm looking at this Devil system at the moment:

Now all you gotta do is remove the Sushi stickers. Otherwise, the look of the bike is becoming somewhat more palatable to my aesthetic sensibilities.

Are those marital aids you are using for driver's foot pegs? Very cleaver! Those Harley guys have nothing on us when it cums to pleasing our women!

How 'bout a Darth Vader helmet?

I'm thinkin' there be one of these in your future:

 

[Violione]

WarChild,

Awesome! However; me thinks some gay-ass chrome would allow you to see it in dark lighting conditions; ya wouldn't want to knock it over in the garage because you farkled it into full stealth mode and couldn't see it?

Farkle away! It is probably the best looking Busa I have seen, and I don't care much for Busa's, but you are changing my mind with this one!

Dale... the Busa is getting kick ass. The Devil cans will definitely be a big upgrade. Yes... I'm jealous.

In my future? :blink:

I've had one of these for eight years now...... see?

Returned to 100% stock condition prior to taking it down for consignment... a sad day, indeed...

The replacement Blackbird.... a 2002 model:

Ready for BBGHW......
