Painted Triple Trees


I decided that the silver triple trees and handlebar risers were just too out of place with the direction my bike has gone. And, since I have a bunch of time on my hands waiting for China to fix their screw up and for the snow to melt, I decided to tear the front end off and paint them black. Turned out great.

China blows. New Reservoir.

I finally got around to changing out my brake and clutch reservoirs to something more aesthetically pleasing. I turned to China for some cheap, simple, black reservoirs. Of course... they send me one black and one gold. One of those moments where you think, "You had one job!"

So now I get to wait weeks and weeks for them to get their shit together and send me a new one.

Here's some previous shots as well as the one that I got installed:
