I have. I thought of painting it a satin finish aluminum but think I will leave it black for the time being. What I really want to do is get it in a dull chrome looking color and swap the red filter out for a black filter.
Why don't you just ditch that plastic crap anyway..? It looks out of place on such a nice bike. Go for a nice polished or black anodised velocity stack.
Nice looking ride bro..!
