Talking My Dyna Transformation!
Here are some pictures of the Transformation. Its not much. I was going to black it all out but the Black Ice paint scheme just did not look right with wrinkle black so I started to go back all Chrome. What do you guys think? Be nice too

I am posting from the earliest to latest

I am already thinking of getting ape hangers. I know I want to change the rims out and the swingarm (48458-10). I also need to find either this 69851-06 headlamp or this one 68593-06. I am starting my budget for a Stage 3 upgrade. Hopefully by the end of the year that will be done. I have some other pieces (66516-07) coming in tomorrow that Cycle stop is going to be putting on for me. I wished that I had got a wide glide for the front end.

I will post more pictures through out my progress.

Harley calls it black ice. Not sure why. It changes from purple to royal blue though

That color is wild! I like it. On another note, you gotta figure out a better routing of those spark plug wires or get shorter wires. That would drive me nuts!

The shorter wires were too short so I was stuck with the longer ones.
