very cool!
here's my 85 FXWG before I got tired of looking at it this way. I changed out the fenders, tanks, dash, pipes and a few other things. I went with stock rear fender (like yours), stretched tanks (got a great deal on them) and had my GF spray them flat black. no front fender. wrapped pipes. it turned out really cool. I'll try to get some new pix up of it now.

sounds cool, yeah I'm not a fan of bright colors, and full fendered looks either. too flashy for me, I'm not trying to win shows. just like it to have a clean conservative appearance that makes the chrome stand out. look forward to seeing your pics.

cost me $275 for the tanks, front/rear fenders at Miller's Powdercoating Lilburn Ga. I did no prepwork, the tanks were originals, the fenders were new and bare metal. all they did was sandblast the tanks, then they gave it the powdercoating treatment.
