My CB550K3 Cafe build.

Nice bike. Was thinking about painting the engine black on my project, when I finally get it going.

I was told by someone it's not good to paint an air cooled engine as it reduces the engines ability to bleed heat? Is this correct?

mickwinf:
i too like the black engine, it reminds me of my old 500/4 i had the side casings chromed, looked great and i dont remember any overheating probs.
