Powder coating on back rack and rest and also passenger footpegs.

I dont really like the backrest on but I ride with my Eight year old girl on quiet a bit so piece of mind really. I do use love handles but like the rest on for safety.

Powder coating was done at Batchglow fantastic job and only cost £15 http://www.batchglow.co.uk/

Cruise lights fitted With switch on Knee pad http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_218010_langId_-1_categoryId_165688

Looks well smart m8 Cool

I've had my foot pegs and rear grab rail (I took off the rear rack, 300 style before the 300 came out though Wink

) powder coated black but in more of a satin black than the gloss you have.

Also painted up my front crest and running light chrome ring black, I like the stealth look.

I see you've gone for the short tinted screen, did you have the clear screen b4? If so do you find any performance difference at top end???

Yes mate

The light is a little yellower now but doesn't really serve much function other than aesthetics as the headlight is perma-on

Gav, did Piaggio change from gloss to matt after the first batch of 300s? and yes the black from chrome looks really good, specially on black bikes, its the small things that matter too! attention to detail that gets overlooked so easily.
