Hello Gee,
Honestly I haven't been following your thread but i spent about an hour late last night getting caught up. I appreciate what your doing and I look forward to following along. Maybe someday I'll get this bike off the lift and take it for a ride, I'm sure looking forward to it. My cam kit is due in Monday and the Bassani Road Rage pipe is scheduled to be released next week also, i hope so because there is no way i'm reinstalling the stock exhaust. I myself also like the new Satin Finish on the Fat Boy. I'm not quite as motivated as you so i'm going to send a piece off to my powder coater and see how close he can come to matching it. Anyway, good luck with your build my friend, ride safe and take care, Rich

I used it on the Chrome Oil Cooler Cover and turned out looking like the satin chrome that's on the heat shields. The light didn't allow the pictures to show how close the two satin chromes where. Not sure how to link directly to a post but it #86 in this thread.
Thanks for posting the video. The best I've heard thus far. You need a buddy in the garage to blip the throttle while the camera is at the rear of the bike. Idle sounds great!
Do these slip ons also contain a cat like the stock cans do? Thanks again.
Well everybody including myself chose the stock lower legs over the chrome lower legs after I installed them. Now that I have the bike down to the ground, and I can get a better look, I think we we're all wrong. Taking into account the chrome handlebars and risers, chrome headlight bezel and the addition of the chrome rear sprocket cover, I think it came together very nicely.
I was joking around and flipped the mirrors and I ended up liking them so much I'm going to let them hang :-)
Nothing to see on the other side, waiting on a Bassani Road Rage 2-1 Exhaust system..Stay tuned, thanks......

Chrome/Satin/Paint.....<br/>Balancing act....
