Crash / Dresser bars

[Lifelong Biker]

Just installed my Christmas present!! Got a set of dresser / crash bars, they only come in chrome. Had them black powder coated and just installed them on Roadster. Seemed kinda crazy to take brand new perfect high quality chrome, and blast it and coat it. But i didn't want them to stand out!

Chrome don't get you home, but black will get you back.

I take it you unwrapped your present before xmas morning .. that's a big no-no .. be socks and jocks for you next year mate they look great black.

Out of interest What was the cost of powder coating ?
Cheers

Being chrome they'd just need scuffing up with a brillo type pad , really don't need blasting... shouldn't pay anymore than $50 -$75 max. I've had a lot of powdercoating done over the years. If they try to charge you anymore than that.... look elsewhere mate.

I paid $50 for both sides. They did a great job, nice guy handled them at Hayward Corp in North Arlington NJ ( He was into bikes and had a custom of his own ) Quick turn around. Even with the holidays I had them back in 2 weeks. Easy to mount, just put floor jack with wood under engine to take pressure off engine mount bolt.
