Just did chrome axle spacers this winter, I've been meaning to do them for several years, but kept getting sidetracked. They finish off the wheels nicely though!

Do you have pictures of that? I'd like to see them.
Just got back from a 10 day motor home trip to the national parks in Utah, and was happy to find that the parts I had ordered were here.....more chrome!! Plan on switching out the calipers this coming week, but will probably wait to install the chrome caliper bracket and axel spacers until the new wheels, rotors, and pulley get here...hopefully in about 3 weeks!!! Just need to order chrome axel covers, tires and Ride-On and I'll be ready to go!!!
So I went ahead and pre-ordered an FP3 today. They keep pushing back the date for shipping the new model for 2007-2013 bikes, the pre-orders ship first, so I wanted to get in line. They're now saying will ship end of May...also ordered chrome axle/nut covers, HD (rear) Top Down (front)...
Got my first good ride in today, with the belt drive and 30/70 pulley combo!! I went out of town right after picking it up, so only had a couple short test rides. WOW!!! I'm really impressed with the torque increase with the new pulleys, It feels like a different bike!!! I cant wait to get the FP3 and flash a new map. I'm running a HD download and XIED's now, and it's far from a good tune. I'm also diggin the "whine" from the belt drive, definitely a different sound, but I like it!!! One other thing about the belt drive, before installing the clutch friction plates, you soak them in ATF for five minutes and then let them drip dry for 8-24 hours or longer, mine dried for over 24 hrs. and still threw out a mist of ATF for about 50 miles or so, but it's all good now!! BDL says the less you let them dry the longer they will spit fluid, could take up to 150 miles. A little messy, but no big deal...also hope to have the "custom" rear pulley cover for it done this week!!
