So, okay, it's not an earth-shattering modification, but it was a good "bang-for-buck".... it cost me a whopping $2.99! :thumbup

After seeing it stock on the Raven model, I decided to go ahead and re-finish the titanium exhust cover and fasteners to a nice Satin Black color. The stock "off-gold" color never looked quite right with me, particularly since most of the bike's accents are black:

But it was nothing a can of Krylon Satin Black couldn't fix right up:

Viewing the bike in it's entirety, the black exhaust cover lends itself well to the rest of the bike's various black accents/covers:

This quick, inexpensive mod came out looking pretty good, didn't it folks? :thumbup
