My local dealership's GM did this on his '15 RGS. Looks awesome!

And, if you have a denim black with red pinstripes, he also took a red paint pen and put a red line around the tire, just like the old "Redlines" back in the '60's. Looks outstanding!

Curious spazz, what did you do with the little center button Harley symbol? Did you remove it or just mask it

Come on HB do some reading up on high performance mods! Black bikes(like mine) make you go faster, Red calipers make you stop faster. What don't you understand?

That's how it goes sometimes, if they came red people would be painting them black. At least he saved a bundle doing it himself. I changed all my Amber lights up front to all white so who am I to talk.
