Probably going to in the minority here.

I dont care for the paint job. Too light and girly of a blue color, the HD logo on the fairing looks like it was put on crooked and just left and its not symetrical to anything else on the bike, no blue on the rear fender? and the silver wheels just look out of place since you have a black engine and transmission cases and only other silver on the bike is the pin stripes which is not very noticeable as silver im assuming as they look white with the lighter blue. And the blue underglow LED lights kind of top it off as ricey.

And you can reuse the pulley bolts, its just a matter of doing it right. Many Harleys have had the bolts break and they've never been touched. I reused the pulley bolts when I swapped pulleys and again when I sawpped to alloy wheels over 10k miles ago. Cleaned the orignal locking compound off, added new threadloc, and torqed them properly. marked them just to be sure they dont loosen up and they've been trouble free. But when I get my wheels powder coated when I put on new tires next I'll be swapping to ARP pulley bolts.

We already had the fastener re-use debate in the original failure thread. Probably better reviving that one than derailing this one. Just MHO.

Hang it on the wall for some expensive garage art.
Haha I'll be doing something with it for sure. I have my old (kinda nice) 20 inch wheels off my old car that got bent from pot holes that I'm gonna make a glass table or something out of. Will surely be making use of that wheel too lol

Harley quoted me at 1000 to powder coat my wheels. My painter and I decided we would try regular old paint (same paint as in the paint job) with a high impact clear.
It's held up pretty well so far.

If It doesn't hold up,will powder coat them down the road.

Harley shop looking to cash in.

They would have more than likely taken them to another powercoating shop and paid what you will taking them in yourself.

I checked with a few local places for when I do mine and between 3 different shop I was quoted from between $200 and $350.
