Title: Swing Arm - Black Powder or Polished?
Post by: Charles Owens on March 04, 2011, 07:05:14 AM

Do you guys want it powder coated black to match the triples, and sub-frame?
Or should we polish it out?

I don't mean to make you bust out the elbow grease but polished just sounds so cool

i picked polished because i think if it was black thatd be too much black in the bike and i think polished would look nice and possibly tie in with the pipe

I just noticed something, why are we trying to replicate maico colors?

I voted polished, but powder black wouldn't be a bad choice.

The TSM colors happen to be the same.

Oh I did

I am currently in the process of planning to powder coat my KX250's frame, hubs, and triple clamps that same color, have my fork tubes, shock body, and calipers hard anodized black.
I am, however, going to have to wait till my graphics are shot to powder coat the swing arm, which is ok, because I can't decide what color to do it.

Because the new Maicos look awesome!!! I think maybe a red front and rear fender though.

Humm I think that paint the swing is not a good idea!

I would go for a brushed aluminium factory efect  8)

Polish is to much pimp for me!

About the grafics, I think that some black and white would be the win!
