Can I buy black fender struts? Trying to avoid too much down time. Or will I have to wait till winter and powder coat mine.

 

HD stopped the black strut covers when they did away with the sport.
Dark Custom really means - we have to powder coat HD chrome.

Keep an eye out for a set from someone who upgrades to chrome, that is what I did. Then sold mine after the swap.

 

down time? just un bolt them and run your bolts right back in, your fender rails on the on the outside on a dyna... when you get them put them back on, 5 min job both sides

 

JRK5892, Are you saying that I can run without them?

 

Joe is correct you can.

I could not since I have quick detach setup. They need to contact the covers to line up properly.

 

Don't forget, the shocks also have to be unbolted and that can be tricky unless you have a lift or some help...

 

I didn't think I could go without them, Thanks a lot for the help!

 

When I pulled mine off to powdercoat them, I had to stop and really think about if I wanted to put them back on at all. I liked the way it looked without them

That's the stage I'm at now.
Except the rear turn signals look funky without the covers and their 'dimples' for the signals.....

 

buy someones take offs on ebay, have them coated and then swap when they get back from powder.&nbsp\\; thats what i plan to do.
