Default Black Front end for 08 Street bob

Anyone know of anywhere I can get a blacked out front end for my street bob? Also looking at either buying new rims or powder coating originals.

Powder coat what you already have is the cheapest/easiest way. Not enough parts in salvage yet as well as on ebay. I'm doing the same thing right now.

Do you know roughly how much that would cost? I plan on blacking out the entire bike then I want to powder coat the rims maybe a red color, and put on some white wall tires.

Depending on the powder coater, $40-60 to do the lowers and about the same to do the triple trees and clamps. Not sure on the rims, but it will be cheaper than buying new ones.

Just so you know you won't be able to find a whitewall for the stock rear wheel.You might want to take that into consideration before you powdercoat it.

Thanks for the heads up Ed. I had been searching to no avail and was beginning to think I was blind.
