  • engine apperance question

    mods feel free to move this where ever you see fit, I didn't know where to put it.
    Okay, here my problem:
    I have a pre 98 engine, so it's black, the crankcases, crankcase covers, cylinders, and valve cover. The cylinder head is a 98+ so it's silver. Should I make the cylinder head cover 98+ so from the head up it's all silver or should I keep the pre valve cover so it's black? Anyone thats good with photoshop, feel free.

    Can you really even see the different colors behind the plastic?

              no, the covers are gonna be black, but the oil fill thing that screws into the clutch cover is blue, the oil tubes from the crankcases to the cylinder head is blue and the breather cover is blue

                        The only thing I could imagine would be high temp powdercoat (i.e. - ceramic coating). That's black or silver, right?

                        I think you're being too much of a show queenie if you're worried about the valve covers matching

                          well, I AM being a show queen, this Katana project is all I have, everything has to be perfect CP. You know that, why do you think I bought the SS speedbleeders? The plastic caliper covers are chrome. Everything on this bike is top notch. Do I need Galfer wave rotors all around? No, do I have them yes. Do I need pazzo racing lever, no. Do I have them yes. Do I need a HEL oil cooler, no. Do I have one yes. I think you get the point.

                            And BTW the swing arm, and lower fork tubes are powder coated black. And the header is ceramic coated.

                              Which color on the header ceramics?

                              Maybe you should match that

                              Cheers,
