Transformation complete! Its ALL BLACK!

[FinalImpact]

Install of a black powder coat 48 tooth Sunstar sprocket is pretty much the last Silver part on the bike short of the headers, mid-pipe and fork stanchion tubes... All the rest is Black Powder Coat. Not for everyone, but I like it!

I may need a new project now!

Yes, a 48 will fit w/2" slack, but the wheel base is shorter now by 3/8"! Still on the OEM chain and this is test to see if helps in some low speed corners; i.e. being in 2nd vs 1st. Hopefully I'll know over the week!

Also, this sprocket is about a 1/3 the weight of the OEM due to where they removed material.

Note my fork tubes by the upper triple clamp.

 

[IAMJUSTIFYD]

Now, ceramic coat those headers

Grabbed a belly pan, its still in the box unopened! Slightly used and some shade of black. Weekend was too busy to even bother....

Too much going on so it have to wait.

You'll notice I may have had some spare time lately!

My rule of thumb is; anytime something comes off, CLEAN IT REAL GOOD! And well, because when its lying in ditch, the insurance co will pay more if its not a dirtball!

You know, I've never liked the black frame of the s2, but that bike is properly sexy!

Well put! I've tried with some success to avoid the "lying in the ditch" part at least when the bike is involved, but I hate working on dirty bikes as much as you. Late nights and a lot of rags

Take care, good luck on having, um, less spare time :rockon:

Sexy, may not have been the term i was looking for but lets go with that! :thumbup:

The gas pumpers and a few others give her an honorable mentio and she rides great so - I'm happy!

The black sprocket looks pretty nice, it compliments the rear wheel. I don't understand why they don't come in black from the first place, as an option of course.
