Yeah, I've noticed that online blacked out bikes have a huge presence but I can count on one hand how many I see around my area on the road.

Usually go to the bike meet locally, all the harleys are show and shiners - mines the only blacked out bob around. Still some chome to go and 200 back tire, has any one put the rear wheel in the front for that steamroller look?

Just blacked out the indicators thanks to a tip on the forum - now they look dark

We went to the rally in Elko, NV and I goofed on all the people (riders and gawkers alike) that would walk along the line up and stop to stair at my flat black bob. It was fun until they started running their hands down the paint. WTF? It's a motorcycle not a puppy...don't pet my Dyna.

Markeejay,
last time I had the bike on the lift, mocked up the rear wheel on the front,
It's possible with wideglide or fatbob trees, will require a rotor spacer and custom
outer spacers. would be better to relace front hub.
As for powder in the uk, look in the bike mags for Tripple S , one of the best in the uk,
He did mine.
