Black or Silver?

Post by Kwacky »

I need to replace the chain adjuster blocks on the zx6r as the old ones are old and getting a bit tatty.

Swingarm is black. Bike plastics are white.

I'm thinking black but not sure how hard wearing the coating will be.

Black would look good However I think it will scratch and tarnish quickly. So with my sensible head on Silver is the best option

I've gone with black. They're not that expensive so I'll see how they wear.

Black for sure. It will mark but only behind the nut you won't see so not an issue imo.

Black for me ... plus invest in a black Sharpie to cover the scratches if they start to appear #toptip
