Painted my handlebars flat black
I really love flat black accents, so I painted my handlebars. The chrome was pitting and rusting so I sanded them down a bit (discovered they were copper) and then sprayed them with a few coats of flat black. I also did my brake lever, clutch lever, and upper yoke while I was at it. I had already repainted my rear grab bar because that was a rattle can two tone ugly silver and original black combination. I think I need to do the mirrors somehow.

Thank you! I usually don't take blurry pictures like that. Here is another picture.
EDIT: Also put on new grips. The Grab-Ons that were there were torn.

Looks nice... I think you'll find the copper was the base coat under the chrome.
