New look, same great taste! 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
After dropping 40 pounds off of myself in the last year, I decided it was time to slim down the Roadie, too. I ditched the fairing, bags, and sissy bar, then hit everything with a fresh coat of matte black for what I think is a much cleaner look.

Now that's how a motorcycle should look. I went a little further and lost the entire belt shroud. I think it gives it a more raw look.

Looks good. Flat black is one of my favorite colors. kn1feparty wrote:

No belt guards on my bobber, and I opened up the front pulley cover, too... for a naked pulley look.

Road Stars always look best as a solo set up. My white bike which is almost done is all stripped down to with no belt guard and I love the look
