    Thanks, Organ. Thought of having back the exhaust shield after installing the Leo.

    I had thought about powder coating, along with anodizing the can bodies, but I might keep a little bit of silver... The plate is a plastic one from Hyde Racing. I don't plan on slamming it into any rocks or logs, just wanted to keep flying gravel and such off of the frame and case.

    I think the black wheels look sweet...did you tape every spoke and then spray the plasti-dip? Any advise for me on your experience taping them would be great so I don't start from scratch.

    Anybody think it would look bad to dip both the rims and spokes?

    To do the rims right, you un-lace them and get them powder coated. I don't know how plasti-dip would look, you'd have to touch it up after tire changes too.

    I used whatever was on the shelf at Lowes, which I believe was flat black. I did a very light final coat to get a more matte look, but it's worn more shiny over the last couple years. The only original plasti-dip on it right now is the rear fender, and it's starting to look like it's time to re-spray or do something else. I threw some vinyl camo on the headlight and number plates, and replaced the front fender when it cracked. It's plasti-dipped too, but I didn't clean it as well as I should have beforehand and it's bubbled a bit.

    Ahh ok, the 630 light is much better than the 610 light, but it's far from good. I added 4000 lumens of LEDs in the sidepods tied into the high beam circuit with a relay.

    it has way more possibilites than the 610 from what i been reading and it also looks better i been searching for a better headlight but am very picky with aesthetics. I was looking for a thread of someone switching a 610 headlight to a 630 i've heard it has been done but cant find some sort of sample or guide.
