UPDATE: I got around to getting some pics. I did end up pulling all the tins off and using flat black. I also added a few things. I bought some black progressive shocks. I went back up to the stock length as I ride kind of aggressive and was dragging hard parts with it lowered. These things are a great. I can feel the difference big time. I also picked up a set of solo bags from Bad&G Customs. Just put them on today. They are very well made! I dig the look too! Scored a shield from ebay and got the docking hardware from moco a week or so back. Don't really like to look of a shield but man it makes the commute to work and back so much better. No buffeting at all! That was my major concern as I have read so many bad reviews. I also took off the sissy bar for now. Not sure if it will stay off yet or not. Anyway here are some pics. The sun was going down so the lighting is off.











It sure has come a long way from the "Lakers" bike. I still want to add some black 16" apes to finish it off. I also have a line on some slotted six spoke wheels FOR FREE! The chrome on them is shot but I want to go black powder anyways.

 

I looks really good! Way better!

Did you do a clear coat as well?

 

Very nice, good looking Wide GLide.

 

Thanks guys! I did use a clear but didnt like how it turned out. It was too shiny for me even though I used a stain clear. It was also much harder to get the clear even. Some spots were more shinny than others no matter how much I tried to even it out. I ran it like that for a week or so and then I wet sanded the clear off and hit it with a few more coats of just flat black. I really like how the flat looks but am worried about it holding up. The tank already has some shiny spots where my chaps rub the tank.

 

Extremely good looking bike you have there Rounder

 

Great job! Looks like a different bike. The front directionals stick out a bit far. For a few bucks you can pick up some different mounts and position them pretty tight to the forks.

 

Looks Good.

Thanks again guys. I do agree the sigs are far out there. I used the stalks in the docking kit. I have shorter ones but it puts the sigs behind the shield. Worried about blinding myself at night.

 

On my front signals I've applied a piece of grey weatherproof tape (black electrical would work) to one quadrant of each lens's edge so they don't shine in my eyes at night. It greatly improved my night vision.

 

Good point, on my old Softail I used to keep my turn signals on the bars until a really bad night time rain ride where I couldn't see the road. After that I immediately moved them back down to the forks.
