RE: THE WINTER MODIFICATIONS THREAD
1. In paint right now, should get the tins back this weekend
2. New Chrome Heel Rest
3. New Chrome Wheels
4. New Chrome Custom Mirrors
Also thinking about chroming out the front forks and calipers. Possibly going with a 95 or 103 build with gear driven cams.

4: Send stock wheels out to be chromed.
5: Send stock brake calipers out to be chromed.
8: Bottom mount headlight.
This is interesting. I see you've got laced wheels on your bike, are you sending out stock cast wheels? Are you polishing them before shipment? Also the brake calipers will look great after you get them back. I've seen chromed stock calipers and they do look good.
Will you have any issues with the bottom mount headlight hitting the fender?
I'm sending my stock cast wheels away, get them to look like this:

I'm getting this headlight that mounts on the top of the bottom tree:

Donnie,
What is the length on that headlight? It looks like the Cobra 2 but that bracket looks a bit different from the one I have. Mine pushes the headlight out a bit further. Also, I have a 9 1/2 incher.

I will be going for the front end stuff. 1 1/2 wide glide bars. braded cables, brake lines, 4 1/2 inc head light, chrome switchhousing ect. That will probably take up most of the available "fun cash" . If I can come up with some extra I might do the chrome front end kit for the lower legs. I haven't done anything to it all summer so I can't wait to get started.

That'll look good but 1 question about the Scotch Brite. Why would you scratch up your chrome? If it turns out good you may consider doing a DIY about it.

Chrome's not my thing....I prefer the rat-rod look.
Plus I really dont like to wash my bike very often, so it wont look so dirty if it's not shiney to begin with.
