Hello Winter: wrench to bike - Ultra Edition

[Gas Man]

Maintenance items: (both really easy)
Front brake pad replacement (2 bolts & 1 pin per caliper)
Front fork oil replacement (drain plug R&R, remove dash piece to fill)

Gloss black powder:
saddlebag surrounds
horn cover
tank dash
air cleaner cover
starter cover
rear fender struts
license plate brackets

Flat black high temp powder (the powder will be more durable than ceramic, flat cause gloss will loose its shine over time & miles):
heat shields
mufflers

ceramic (gray-color doesn't matter) the exhaust pipes for an added heat barrier

This has always been the only read cosmetic mods I ever thought of for the last 2 years of ownership. Always said I might do this one day...

So I started into the bike...

All of this chrome needs to go (saddle bag surrounds, rear fender struts, plate bracket, mufflers)



Off with the parts





remove the horn cover


tank dash gone


exhaust heat shields and air cleaner cover off



Exhaust pipes off


After also doing the nightster I had allot of parts off... YIKES this is going to get expensive!
