Default Chrome Package installed
Well it took me 2 days but got my Chrome Motor package and slip-ons installed. After the first day I was thinking I should of paid to have it done but when I was all finished and was washing the bike it felt worth it. Think it made a huge difference to the plain silver motor on the FXD.

Installed Rocker Housing, Rocker Cover, Tappet Cover, Outer Primary and Derby Cover, Cam Cover, Transmission Side and top cover, and SE Slip-ons.

May I suggest along with the bolt cover kit, pick up a chromed oil dipstick. Really looks good.
