Black engine cases on standard 2003 GS???

[Ian]

Just seen a picture of a 2003 GS on a dealers website.

'Graphitine' in colour (Whatever that means!) But with what looks like some black engine casing like the adventure? What's that all about?

correct,

black engine an option for all 1150`s standard and adv.
Looks good in graphitan with black imho.
Quite a few out there with the black option.

My Blue & White 2000/Y 1150 has the black engine. I prefer the look & the fact that it seems more durable? The only paint peeling off my engine is the silver paint on heads & cylinders.

I'd love the black swingarm & bevel box from a Rockster.

I've got an '02 Blue 'n White one with the Black engine option, and I agree that the Rockster bevel drive, etc would look good too, as would Adventure Blue/ Black wheels!

I agree that the GSA wheels would look better but I imagine them showing up the scratches a lot more?

I like my black engine too, easy to keep clean(drop of WD40 on a cloth)
What you want is some cast wheels, powdercoated,as below
Cheers Dave
They dont scratch easily!

Apart from the dodgy wheels, you could get the cylinder heads done!
