I have never been a fan of Chrome. So as I usually do, I am doing away with the chrome on my '13 R3R. Tho I am reluctant to "ruin" such nice work, I really think I am going to like my bikes new look. Hopefully my bars are here soon... here's a picture of my ignition trim..

I blasted a few parts today. The weather is perfect today, so I'm going to shoot some more paint today

Did the blacking out of everything when I got my bike back in 2009 ... few years on and Rockets were leaving the factory like that , wasn't all that impressed when they started appearing ..... haha.

I like them all black and mean looking. Mine will be different from the factory models tho.

I painted most of my shiny parts black also, looks so much meaner.
