Welcome! You can make anything fit just about but you may need a grinder and some patience. Just ask THC, Jasper, Bagger....etc
Lol

There's a lot that will fit/ work across the board, it's just a matter of specifics. Congrats on the recent purchase!

Lots of folks buy Nightrains then replace the black pieces with chrome Check ebay regularly, but in the end a local powdercoater is your friend.

The cheapest way to go is to find a good powder coater.
Not all powder coaters are created equal.
When trying one take one or 2 pieces to them to see how they do.

Ask me how I know.

Guess I'll post on this post too

Good looking bike. Finding a black swing arm would be easy there is tons of people who are looking for them. I want to do chrome on mine but it's down the list away.

Also if you get a chance could you send me a couple of pics of the seat and maybe a make and model. The wife wants a new seat and I'd like one with a back rest for me for the long rides. Just looking at different options.

Most everything to 99 will fit from softails, after that some mods might be in order but if you dig enough you would be surprised how much fits one model to the next.
