looks GREAT!

A chrome caliper and a braided hose would balance it out and top it off nicely!

Choose your length braided brake line, $15-$33:

Goodridge Universal Brake Line With Chrome Plated Ends

A chrome caliper is going to easily run $300+ so this may be a really nice alternative and add just the right touch-

Chrome caliper inserts for FLSTNI/FLSTN:

AluminatorÂŽChrome Billet Brake Caliper Insert
or
Engraved Brake Caliper Insert Kit

I checked a few aftermarket shops and they are about the same as direct from H-D.

I wish someone would kill this thread. Everytime I read the title when going to posts since last visit, I think it says, "Short shorts installed..." I get all excited, then realize that it's about exhaust and I sink into a deep depression. Oh well, back t my meds. Art
