Default I know it’s a RKS, I don’t care, I’m adding some chrome, lol



Also added Legend rear shocks and a wind-splitter
most won’t like my chrome and especially won’t like that I’m putting fish tail slip-ons!!!

I love the chrome exhaust on blacked out bike. Freedom makes some nice sounding exhaust.
This is my blacked out FXLR with splashes of chrome.

I liked blacked at first, but it is over done, and old news now. With the EPA raising costs of chrome, we might be the last chrome generation, at least American Chrome.

I like black wheels on my white Chevy pickup and my white C7 Corvette. On my Road Glide 3 Chrome Rules

I will never buy a blacked out motorcycle again.
Front forks are a pitted mess. I'm contemplating getting chrome lowers.

Yours looks great. Enjoy!
