Considering the nut is normally never touched for the most part, I will whip out the black Plasti Dip and see how it takes. Will post some pics this weekend for opinions.
SSR Triple Tree Nut
2
Every day I ride my 300 to work and I look down and see that silver triple tree nut and HATE it. Silver does not belong there, everything is black! On eBay I found the SSR triple tree nut and they offered a black one. So I bought it.. I think it was $30 after shipping.. Install was easy, I dont have large metric sockets, but a 7/8" socket fits the stock bolt perfectly. And then for the install of the SSR bolt I wrapped it in a rag and then used a 1-1/4" socket and was able to get it plenty light with zero slipping or damage to the bolts finish.

For $30 I think its a great little mod just to make the bike look a little bit better..

Took about 40 minutes and 4 coats of Plasti Dip to cover. Best part it used 1/5 or less of a can that cost $6 here.
Just to add, with the Plasti Dip I only had to put paper to cover the handlebars and gas tank (2 minutes of taping) for the overspray. When I finished I just peeled the excess off and a perfect removal around the nut.
