Well I disagree there. There are plenty of people out there where money (at least money at this level) is of no object.

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Painter started on the tins last week and should finish them up this week. I want to ping him but he said 10 business days and I don't want to pester him. This is the second bike he has painted for me.

My 02 Road King that he painted.

The tins are done and I got some pictures today. They have one final buff out to do and they will ship them on Thursday.

That looks great. Can't wait to see them bolted on. Is that a decal or is the HD a hand (done) job?

Thanks! I can't wait to get them installed. I'll be packing away the factory tins. It's a decal set that I got off of discontinueddecals.com.

I received a tracking update from UPS that the tins will be here today. Looks like a day in the garage is in order tomorrow! Pictures to come.

Got the tins installed and the bike detailed. Of course everything that could have fought me did, but that's expected. I love the new paint and it looks like a completely different bike. I'm very happy with the results.

Thanks. It has been taken care of over the years and you'd never know it has 60,000 miles on it.
