Build notes

Blacked-out done right isn't just rattle-can. The satin finish on this tank is a full layered paint system - block-sanded and sealed so it stays flat and even, not blotchy.

The console dash keeps the top line clean while still giving the rider the gauges they need. Every bright part on the bike is deleted, anodized or painted to keep the stealth theme unbroken.

Restraint is its own kind of custom. The hardest builds are often the ones with the fewest colors - the eye catches every flaw, so the work has to be flawless.
