Chrome engine block?

[my06rocket]

How is this look accomplished? Are there years/models that come with a chrome/grey engine block, or is this sandblasted, etc?

Is it chrome or sliver? The early years the motor were silver

All '04 and '05 models had grey engines, some '06 and a few '07.

Its a Palatine Rocket 04, 05 and some of the 06 standards and the 07 classic tourer had silver engines (to use up what was left over in stock. Quite a expensive kit as they have you ship the bike to them and will not just sell the kit for you to do. Stock motor although probably re-tuned after installing the nice looking but not performance pipe.

Silver engines rule !

Aww that's too bad. I really like how it stands out in silver. The black ones kind of blend into the rest of the bike and don't look nearly as impressive.

I bet it is because the rails are off in which if you stripped them off a black motor it will also look like a massive block.

Probably just a stock early silver engine .. with good studio lighting.

There are no 04's, although bikes were delivered in the summer of 04, mine included June, they were 05 models
