I have went about repainting the bike matte balck wiht the midnight special theme. while removing the ugly side plastics and filling in the area with a fitted heavy plastic (looks metal) while painting the rear and front fender I I masked a 1 in stripe in the middle to leave chrome. I painted the tank glossy back underneath leaving only a simple glossy stripe and glossed the name plates. I have striped the crap off the handle bars and put something like super-cross bars on I wrapped the pipes to teh mufflers and I intend to cut those off. stainless steel brake lines and a flat seat are on the way next. and more sudgestions.
