Wanted - pics of TRXs with black engines

Post by **phuk72** » Wed Feb 06, 2008 11:56 am

I'm dropping my motor out shortly to paint it and can't decide whether to keep the engine silver or to paint black.

So i want to see some pics of bikes with black engines - post em up please

Is that spotless shiny black, or dull old 13 year import black!

Don't mind - just want to see how it contrasts with the frame / swinging arm

kirk: why not submitted for TOTM ? (trx of the month)

that bike is really nice.

forgetting the fact you have a huge honkin dead sheep on there, should opt for the lamb size. But i really like it for some strange reason.

You gonna clean or polish your covers phuk ?
