Got bored

[renobruce]

I'm on hold building my engine (waiting for parts), so I had a few minutes and started playing around with my cam side covers. Which do you like:

Picture this one with new chrome:




Or Painted:




Or the traditional chrome one:





I guess I could do the original style in black, too. Keep in mind the motor will have black side covers. I'll be using chrome bolts wherever I can...

[CraigS]

That is cool. How did you do that? I am always a fan of black (I powder-coated my covers). The covers might also look cool in some sort of satin aluminum finish.

[Sunburn]

All black is where it's at!

[groundshock]

Finned Chrome. All the way.

HA! 3 replies and 3 different answers!

I think you should have all the edges of the cooling fins on the complete engine in full shine, as a contrast to the gloss black. lotsa work there, huh?

Like this?








I was planning on maybe shining up the side fins on the head....

[renobruce]

That is cool. How did you do that?

the first one I left plain, the second one I painted, and the last one I just buffed the edge of the painted one with a soft wire brush in my drill.

I like the plain finned one even though you were thinking of chroming it. I like look of the edges of the fins on the head being filed down like on my 700
.

do that last one with the brushed fin tips. then do it to the rest of the head.

[maro]

definitely the black finned. real dope.

[groundshock]

Now that Ive seen the black finned with the polished fin edges, that is now my vote.

[salty_monk]

Yep, black with polished fins or stock for me.

Me too, I think. Pretty sexy looking.

I like the chromed finned idea, has a nice contrast.
