S2R 800 - black belt covers

[Bullfrog]

Were there ever any black or dark grey belt covers made for the 800 motor?

I don't want any metal or carbon ones and would prefer swapping them instead of painting them if possible.

Should be but there was also steps posted in Accessories and Mods regarding dying covers

What's wrong with painting them?  I used Krylon Semi-Gloss on mine and they look pretty good.

Got pics?

Here is a pic of my rattle can belt cover paint job...



and here is after I had the engine cases powder-coated too

Mine look like Mony's, but a little less shiny.

Love your bike Monty!  I'm planning to darken my S2R, but keep the frame red so it stands out.  Like the black peg hangers and swing arm.  What pipe is that?

I'm rattle caning my M750 belt covers in black and they turned out just fine ~

It's a Quat-D midpipe and Leo Vince 2-1 Slip on.  Sounds is really nice, and it looks killer with that twisted 2-1 pipe.  I would have preferred a CF muffler, but came across a deal on the aluminum.  My next step is the tail chop, when I do that, I might shorten the muffler, ceramic coat it, and add this end to it...

Hello yeah! I'll be trying that this winter.

FWIW - I painted my belt covers with no issues using high-temp paint from a rattle can.

I too love those pipes, too bad Leo stopped making them and everyone that has them isn't willing to part with them.  Some day....

The '07 has black belt covers.

I think they are about $ 70 new

all the 695s had black belt covers, they fit the 800 engine

but hey painting the covers is cake, why bother sourcing the black ones

I painted mine with Krylon's Fusion Matte Black rattle can. Improved the look by 100% and did the job in the time it took to drain the oil out of the engine. Bonus: if they get scuffed, it's awfully easy to do a repair.
