Default just picked up a M8

Ultra Classic, 2017 with 7 K on it. I made 2 changes. Had a set of slip on Rineharts put on in the deal and I changed the silver gray stipe to 23K gold leaf. Smooth running.

Nice bike, love the black, and the gold leaf is an interesting touch. Where do you go to get gold leaf onto your paint?

That's not a gold leaf paint. I pinstriped the sizing and applied the real 23 K gold over the original silver /gray stripe. 1st I taped it off and sanded the old stripe. I've gilded exterior architectural items and like the look. of real gold.

Welcome to the Forum. It is traditional to pick on the new poster so here goes:

When I picked up my M8 my back hurt for a week.

I don't know. I've been working out in the gym for 8 months , so for an old guy I'll still let it lay. LOL

Thanks for the Welcome.

Smart move putting those slip-ons on the bike. That milwaukee 8 should pull strong without any flat spots.

If they’re the same Rineharts I got put on mine at the dealer you’ll love them.
Couple them with a download from the SEPST and you will never look back.
Very smooth is putting it mildly.
