So I ordered the CR swingarm & accessories to re-gear my R. I have a friend at a machine shop who's offered to powder coat anything I ever want at cost. So, I'm wondering since the CR arm is black, should I think about coating it any color before installing? Or leave it black. Whatcha think ..

Throw some options up on Photoshop. That would be the best. They make powder coating in any color.

Make sure the frame is the same color or at least polish the swingarm to make a (major) contrast to the rest of the bike.

I was thinking they have a powder coating that looks like an in between of polished & chrome, but it might be too bling or too much happening. I love the stock blue sparkle frame so I don't want to go there. I guess just leave it black, & keep it simple & clean looking. Thnx
