Engine Black Out

[bdmcrider]

Newbie here, had my Black '15 Deluxe for a few weeks now, finally got out for a nice ride yesterday...........LOVE THE BIKE!
I've put many miles on a buddies '05 Wing, so I thought I knew what I was in for, but the F6B feels so much nimbler it is amazing!

So I've collected a few farkles, black out turn signals, luggage rack, turn signal mirrors, and want to continue blacking out the bike. Was wondering if there was a replacement part for the chrome bar on the engine that has Honda stamped on it? I will probably try and paint it first, but was wondering anyone made a black part.

I've learned plenty from reading all the great info here on the forum and am sure I will continue to do so!

I think high temp. flat black is going to be your answer.

" chrome bar on the engine that has Honda stamped on it?" There is some paint that some use to paint the brake lens covers on care,trucks...I would look into that...* I would not remove the emblem , whatever you choose do it in place!

If the part you are referring to is located along the center of the valve/spark plug cover, I would use Black PlastiDip. It's black matt finish will almost match the cover and should you want to remove it, it will peel off. Used it on my spare rear wheel when I went to the Dark Side. Almost 27K miles on the rim and not a sign of any chip. I used several coats. Follow the directions on the can and you should be golden

Here's a few pics of the rear rim with the PlastiDip applied!

Duplicolor Black Chrome is also an alternative.
Painted my valve cover chrome and swing pivot.

I have used PlastiDip on 3 bikes now. It looks identical to power coat at $6 a can. If you decide to make it permanent, then spray paint primer as a base coat.

Thanks all for the input, I just ordered a can of the Plastic Coat on Amazon.........can wait to start making the beast my own!

Next time just go to Home Depot and pick it up...it's usually cheaper and no wait time. Plasti-dip

I went crazy with the "Blackout" scheme....

Why do you say "I would not remove the emblem , whatever you choose do it in place!"
Isn't the chrome bar just plastic held on with double-side tape? Could't you just re-attach it with some 3M double-side tape after you black it out??

I took mine off and plasti dipped it then just taped it right back up. Just need to be easy when taking it off so you don't break it.
