Painted my Hugger!

[Wolfman]

Ok, so i have been spending a bit of time detailing my bike...basically i took everything off the bike from the rear subframe back, and either cleaned it, replaced it, repaired it, and polished it!...while i was there i noticed my hugger was looking a bit sad...is 4 years old now! So i went and got a couple of cans of the same Black Onyx paint, that the frame, swingarm, top triple clamp, seat unit handles, are painted with...same satin finish.

The result is fantastic, now instead of having a dulling flat black hugger, i now have a hugger that matches the swingarm it sits on!

If you do decide to give it a birthday....let me know, i will put you onto the joint where i got the colour matched paint (Just near Le Cornu's off Anzac Highway)...is good heavy duty stuff! And cheap! Powdercoaters use the paint i used to touch up stuff!

Looks really good! I've thought about repainting mine as well because it's getting discolored. Is your hugger cut down a little as well?

Yes, that hugger was chopped down a bit, with the ol Dremel!

They are not chromed, just polished...cost about $180 a wheel from memory...hard to keep clean, but a joy to look at.
