'08 Touring looking new again

All the parts are powder coated except the radiator shrouds which are two packed. Six years on they still look good

Last few months has been nothing but exciting! Shipping parts from US, UK and China to personalise a used '08 Rocket Touring that I bought. Obviously there were challenges here and there but finally it's still done up to what I've hoped for. 1) Resprayed with hypershift paint, 2) lowered with 444 11.5 progressive and custom seat, 3) @DEcosse keyless ignition and pdm60, 4) Ramair Filter, 5) @HansO tune, 6) Avon Tyres and 7) Ceramic Coating for paint protection...

Now... Simply can wait to go to work and knock off from work just so that I could ride my bike.

I'm now just seriously considering to blackout my bike a little, not a big fan of chrome parts.

What do you mean by two packed? I'm looking to black out the radiator shrouds.

Ya me too. Thinking of blacking them out too but I understand they might not be suitable for powder coating.

After months of contemplation, I've decided to blackout my exhaust with the lame excuse of keeping it cool. It's cerakote or ceramic coating. Think the blackout bug is getting to me.

My '16 R3R is all blacked except for the exhaust - thought about this myself - what did it run you??

Probably an American term but I'm guessing you are asking how much I did it for. I coated the end cans and the heat shield (excluding the headers under the shield) comes up to about USD$400
