I don't have current pics and it's apart right now, but I will take some when I get it back together.

I was in the middle of sanding off the clear on the forks when I took this, will have to get a better pic when I'm done.

Looks good! Nice work

So, what did you have to do to get them to fit?

Nice! I'm with Hogi - don't care for those wheels on the FLD, but they look good on your bike.

Great paint job. I'm looking at the chrome battery cover with the painted band, and then... an ammo can! That's got to be the best paint job I've seen on an ammo can. Cool.
