Outstanding job!

What is the part # of that headlight trim ring you have? Is the Street Bob headlight the same as the Wide Glide?

Used a two-part clear coat in a can (Spraymax 2K) the stuff is awesome. Sanded and buffed it out and I am very happy with the way it looks.

Very nice, craftsmanship and attention to detail all wrapped up in one. Your bike could be used for a Spray Max ad, as their description below says "You'll get professional results from an aerosol" you proved them right! You definitely have a natural talent for this, also like all the details on the whole bike, battery cover, filter cover, and a good mix of black & chrome.

You compelled me to go back and edit an old post:

Don't have time to read them all. Good job and cool plane. When you say aircraft mechanic are you meaning Crew Chief. I didn't see your name stenciled on the bike.

I'm an electrician (but all systems and crew chief on most of them). Worked C-130's, A-10's, F-16's, KC-135's, and KC-10's.
