Lower Legs??
I am planning to make the change to chrome lower legs on my 94 Heritage.
Question is do I want to do it myself or drop them off with the local indie.
Special tools? Watched a video and of course everything went like clock work.
What can I really expect for an aggrevation factor?
Any tricks you all can share?
I will add that the last set I did myself was on a 69 Bonneville 40+ years ago.
Have manual and parts book so thats not an issue.
Thanks,
Bucaman

I hear you but I can relate to the threads from the other day about polishing. I took a run at mine not long ago and I can relate to whoever said it is easy to loose your heart. I got one looking half way decent but lost my enthusiasm on the second. They were in really rough shape when I bought the bike. may have never seen polish.
I may take another run at it but I really think I am commited to chrome.

Lower legs is what we called them 25 years ago...why? I don't know, but it is what it is....but just polish them and you'll be pleased with the effort and it's not that bad, certainly cheaper !!

Been calling them lower legs for well over 40 years , don't worry there's not to many spring chickens here ,& the one that are have good since cause there here ,I polished mine don't think the p o ever did it , too me about a 6 pack one evening & both look good with the stuff I use , But if you go chrome & do it your self life the front wheel off the ground & take your time them springs can knock you out & leave a hell of a scare ( not on me) But know a guy who did;t listen to me
