midnyte, are you pissed because a member put a chromed out warrior for other members to look at? your bike rocks no doubt. but it just doesn't seem like you to take it out on chrome.cool is cool, there is no way around it.

LOL, chrome is cool too. I have been that route. I like chrome. I am a bigger fan of the black bikes and cars that's all. I like mean looking bikes. To me black is the meanest color. Just my opinion.

Compare Midnyte's Punisher:


to a standard Midnight:


All those little dots of chrome bolt tops are distracting to the Midnight look, IMO. It's the little details like blacking them out that put it over the top. It does look like, however, that Midnyte missed one, just above the passenger footpeg.

Hey Midnyght, while I won't go as far as you did, I plan to use your bike as a model when I start doing mine. Great looking bike.
Actually I have several allen head that aren't black yet......but I will get to them. It's just that in 80+ weather, riding is winning out.

Perfectly understandable. That's what I'd do as well!

I blacked out the rest of the screws, bolts etc. There is very little left to do. I think totally black might be too much for me so I am glad I have a little white to offset it, but to be honest I probably wouldn't mind it all black. To me my bike looks good black. (And it is fastest because it's black) LOL, kidding. I ride slowly. I ride like an old man! (Wait.....I am an old man! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)

Sidenote: very young at heart however.
