Taken me so bloody long i finally finished what i started something like a year ago!
As you can see its the standard hanger just fixed in place where passenger footrest would normally be. Im not a fan of it in its standard place.
Im thinking i should paint it black. What do we all reckon? Im also thinking the same for the footrest hangers, but do those in a satin finish.

hint hint, hint hint
I was tempted to polish it, but i kinda like the brushed alluminium effect just not sure if it suits it. Really i need to get the bike painted and go from there i think.
Im thinking black cos it may kinda 'dassapear' if you like, into the background and look like its floating? And im thinking the same for the footrests, they seem to stick out to me, i reckon if they were satin black they wouldnt be so obvious....

nice lil mod there, i will give you my opinion, i think your right, i dont think your know how you will want that hanger untill you got your bike painted to the colours you want, so i say leave it as it is untill you finally know where the look of your bike is going

Both look nice, but I'm voting for black
Like you say blends in nicely and leaves the exhaust "floating".
