Ceramic coat those bad boys, and they'll look great for years to come.

Well, at least as a newbie, you aren't insulting established members.
That will serve you well, here and everywhere.

Murdered cholo's, I do like learning new things. But, I got to say that, those fishtails, would be upswept after hitting some of the potholes we have here in Maine - lol

I think the OP said the bike would be a bar hopper and not a rider so I'm not sure how road worthy it really has to be.

The slammed look just isn't my thing. I don't care for it on cars or trucks and I'm not a huge fan on bikes.

I think the blacked out think is wearing a bit thin for me. It's everywhere now.

I was at the local suds dispenser earlier today and this guy had a black murdered out '99 Softail. It had 12" risers. Not bad looking.

Why would it not be road worthy with apes and a shotgun air bag and fishtails?
