Jeff,
I went with the black texture, and the color matched the frame very well in most all light. True, the arm was textured and the frame was not, but in photos and real life, it worked very well fuckyouverymuch.
Hey Now.
I went with the flat black powder as well. It looked close but I'm rather particular so I then painted the frame, swingarm, footpegs, shifter, frame plugs, brake lever, and shock dogbones to match. Flat black paint covered with a matte clearcoat made it all match nicely.
Nice exhaust huh Jer?
Where did you get the tail section from? Looks sweet!!!!
