Default New chrome came in today!
So ever since I installed the Bassani 1D5250 exhaust on my Fat Glide, I've been thinking there's just a little too much black in the middle of the bike. So I just received some brand new takeoff engine covers that I found on ebay. I got a cam cover, tranny side cover and tranny top cover. I can't wait to get them installed! I think it'll add some needed contrast in that part of the bike.

that will look nice! I am doing the opposite and doing the gloss black covers with brushed aluminum accents.

Will be cool to see your results!

I look forward to seeing yours too. So many folks are going with flat or wrinkle black. I think gloss black looks awesome too!

Ya I thought I would make it slightly different with the gloss. Not a huge fan of the Matte/wrinkle. Especially after seeing a few bikes that are not taken care of with that paint. Its a MESS. haha

Chrome is like a cancer...it will keep spreading and before too long, your bike will look like it belongs to a 75 year old dude.
