I'm going for an all black look with this bike. The engine and shaft drive would have been silver originally but I reckon this will look good and it's my bike so that's how it's going to be!
The engine and shaft drive were both pretty filthy so I spent a couple of hours with degreaser and a wire brush getting it all ready for paint.
I've used Holts Engine Enamel in a satin black finish - it looks more glossy in the photos than in real life. Again, I've found this engine enamel to be pretty durable on the Crusader and it doesn't need a primer which is a big advantage. I'm going to clean the paint off the rocker box covers and polish them back to the bare aluminium, but that can wait till it's all done sometime.
