Powder coating for the Gladius'

[Kenn157]

Having powder coating this week on the rider/passenger rear-set's support thing. The last big ugly ass thing on my bike. Removing it completely is not an option right now. Maybe in the future... Gonna make it black so it blends in with the swing arm/rear hugger.

God those things are ugly

You should do those grab handles while you're at it.. that or remove them completely.

Good point Bump to do them too! I need them on. What else would the passenger grab a hold of then?

[Kenn157]

If the grab ons are done then the only remaining silver would flanking the headlight. They're made of plastic.

[scubasteveRR]

You could have those painted... while your at it, grab a hair dryer or heat gun and take of the warning stickers on your swimg arm.

I would go this route.

[duganc1717]

Kenn, how about these?

[Kenn157]

Yeah I saw that before. Nice for sure.

[customfighterer]

those rearsets are sick! i would def get those. i hate those single piece massive sets they use on these bikes.

Kenn, you should get rid of the headlight and windscreen and go with something dif. would really change the look of the bike up. something more aggressive.

i dont think its a bad looking bike at all, those rear angles of it look sexy. the headlight is just too bulbous i think and it doesnt compliment the bike at all.

[Kenn157]

Now that that the rearsets are powdered black you dont really notice them. I like the screen but the headlight is bulbous for sure. We'll see!

[Kenn157]

The bike is ready for p/u today @ 4:30! Can't wait to get it home. I'll post some new pix with the powdered coated peg rails. The steel lines and the rear shock. If Chad can't adjust the shock I'll go see Peter K. next "spring"

Or do like me. Leave it alone and let the natural color changes that come with dirt make it look 'stressed' ...like beating an old table with a chain.

[Kenn157]

oh like "aged" Dave? Like a fine wine. haha!

[jwm2k3]

Kenn, bike looks good! Nice, tasteful mods..

[Kenn157]

Thanks J man!

WTF, how is that rear wheel of the busa connected. Its like the hub is just floating.

[scubasteveRR]

They are made out of Plexi Glass.

[customfighterer]

Nice job with the bike so far. I have to admit it was really ugly at first...but I am liking it more and more.

It was.. But it take a man with vision to look beyond it's "short-comings"!

[Pittenger5]

Wow that is INFANANTLY better than it was. The black makes the footrest thing fade away.
