Not jackin the thread....but I have decided not to trade my 07 Fatty and will have it repainted in the black denim instead. I have a couple of quotes, but the best is $650, with me removing the tins and shipping them off a Harley dealer in MI to have it done to factory specs. Sound like a fair price?

Q. How can you tell when a salesman is lying?
A. When his lips are moving.

Take your tins off and find a local paint shop to do it, should be plenty of them in your area.

Is the crack pipe and option in some areas of the country? I asked my local HD shop about it and they said it was not available here in eastern NC.
