Yoke, Clipons, Lever perches and other colours?

[tigerclaw]

Hi, I found another thread where it said that "Yoke and lever perches satin black.clipons gloss black." but what about the actual handle bars (they look gloss black to me?) and the metal throttle cable housing (toss up between satin black and gloss black?) then what colour should the brake fluid reservoir bracket be (in my opinion gloss black against the satin black will look good?) lastly what colour is the key / lock cap (ie the surround around the key that says on off etc) - again I think gloss black as a contrast against the satin black will look good... all these bits are going to the powdercoaters on tuesday so hopefully someone has some info for me before it goes otherwise thats whats going to happen

Pretty sure the handle bars are gloss black too, metal throttle cable housing (if im thinking of the correct thing) should be zinc coated in the olive green colour thats a nightmare to match properly, same with the M/C bracket but ive just painted that satin.

Thanks, it all prepped for the powdercoating shop tomorrow ... quite a mission... amazing how many holes need to be filled with an old bolt to make sure the powercoating doesnt clog the threads (also quite a story to strip and blank off the master cylinder on the brake lever)... anyway... its going to be pretty when its done .

Next colour question... dont know what the part is called but the metal section that sits inside the sprocket (the sprocket fastens to it and it fastens to the rear wheel)... its black but mine is faded - what colour black is it supposed to be? Thanks

I wouldn't powdercoat the clip on bars, the throttle tube wont go back over.

Thanks Dave, I have taped up the bars, will be spray / can painting that bit

My bike is a 92 - black calipers... But what black? I am guessing they should be satin black (with white nissin lettering?) - does anyone know? Thanks
