I want to paint my cylinder/head black and then sand off the edges of the head to show the aluminum like I see a lot of S40s. I hate the all-aluminum look! I'm new to this bike, so I don't know if some years were black from the factory. Some hints/guidance, please. I'm certainly willing to take stuff apart but no more than I have to.
Thanks, Peter

This is a worthwhile endeavour. I just finished mine and I think it looks great. I would clean the engine up really well then scuff the whole thing with a scotch brite pad so the paint wont chip, then all you have to decide is what paint you want to use. Some have used high heat engine paint while other used grill paint (like myself) it just depends on what finish you want and how much you want to spend. Here is my motor

Nice Splash, what kind of paint did you use?

Thanks, all, for your input on painting. When I finish cutting down and mounting my Fatboy bars, paint and exhaust system are next... then carb mods.
