    Shaft Drive Final Gearcase Housing

    I'm redoing my 650GL and am running out of time and patience. I'm thinking of painting the (now removed from the bike) rear drive in gloss black, rather than waste more time and effort polishing (and later re-polishing!) Has anyone done this? Would it end up looking "cheesy"? Input would be appreciated. BTW, Yes, I know it's an "L"!

    If you have other parts that are also black, it would look just fine.

    It's all in what YOU want to highlight on YOUR bike.
