We’ll, bike has been great. I have been inquiring dealer take off’s from EBay to finish the chrome conversion, the only thing I needed to purchase new was the outer primary cover, I had two choices, get mine chromed for 150:00 or purchase a new one for 210.00, no brainer, new one shipped today. I think the bike is going to look even better with all the satin chrome replaced with chrome. The chrome rear pulley cover ended up having a fitment issue so it has been removed and I sent the stock pulley out to be smoothed and chrome plated. I’ll keep things posted. Hope everyone is well.

Looks fantastic Rich! I too have the '18 Fatboy 114 in Black Tempest. Although I am not going to repaint, I do love the Valencia Red you put on your bike! Well done!
Sending you a PM, because I have a technical question regarding the stock license plate holder removal.
Just in case anyone would like to see the primary drive on the new Softail’s..
Also, last picture is of the Primary all buttoned up which completes the chrome conversion. I’m just waiting for the rear pulley to return from chrome plating.
2018 Softail Primary Drive System.
Chrome conversion complete.
