Black Gold Struck in Socal!

[S2daRk]

Just got some parts back from the ceramic coater. They turned out great. Now I'm waiting on some parts from the anodizer and the reassembly will begin.

Very nicely done.  I've never been a fan of gold, but you made it work.     Looking forward to more pictures.

Glad this thread was revived so I could get to see your stunning bike!

Well done!!!!  The gold swingarm is gorgeous...forms the center of attention on the bike.

I got some parts back from the anodizer. I plan to paint the triangular cutouts of the Zard endcaps black...i'll try to use some electrical tape and see if I like the look first.

After a long wait and much anticipation, new jewelry for the Duc finally arrived from Deutschland!



Accessories include air temp sensor, oil temp sensor, mounting cup, and Haribo miniature gummi bears (which made the wait well worth it  )

I can't wait to see the finished product!

Oh man! That tach unit is gonna look gooooood. Is it a digital mph display too?

[S2daRk]

Sure is! It's a Motgadget Chronoclassic with custom anodized bezel. The digital display is toggled thru various functions via pushbutton that can be mounted on the handlebar.

I agree that it's looking good. But be careful not to over do the gold accents. A little bling goes a long way.

Am I the only one dying to see this bike already?

Couldn't agree with you more Definitely going to evaluate the whole look after adding each bling thing.

Update pics?

Should be able to get the exhaust installed this weekend. I decided to use stainless steel rivets (like the original rivets) to reassemble the cans...those SS rivets are tough! I couldn't get my rinky-dink rivet gun to pop a single rivet However this arrived at my doorstep yesterday and it makes short work of those rivets. It pays to have the right tools for the job!
