By the way what did the chrome front end set you back if you don't mind sharing, I'm thinking about doing that next year?

CNC Wheel Guy: Thanks, coming from what’s in your garage that’s a big complement. Yes I’ll do something, I already have new grips with a built in cruise control (throttle lock) on order. We are never done. LOL

Dixie Bob: Thank you, they are the Mark III’s, the one that mounts to the Floor Boards. I like them because they look like forward controls pegs and not a highway bar/peg setup.

Pat C: Thanks, I’ve looked at mirrors and it may sound funny but I don’t see anything I like any better to me. I would like to do those “Turn Signal mirrors” someday to get ride of my turn signals hanging off the bars. They really stick out hanging on my Apes. I’d tell you what the front end cost, but they added it all together with the switches.

Hey Dixie Bob, here's a picture of the Mark III's:

Cycle Drider: Thanks, this picture was taking on a cloudy day, it really shines in bright sunshine. You been able to use that new windshield yet?

.
Yep was able to use it this past weekend for a decent trip and it worked well. The cold Jersey wind was off my chest and just had a little around my head. I'll post some photos this weekend, cause I finally have something worked out for my directionals to marry up to the memphis brackets. So I intend to do that this weekend, honey do list permitting...
Thanks again for the shield!!

Wow, looks great!

The chrome controls and switch housings were the last mods I made before the holidays, though I went with the master cylinder cover as opposed to the chrome master cylinder. It was about 1/2 the cost.

Are you ever done? You know better than that!

Looks great! Do you mind me asking what it cost to chrome the forks? It's something I may consider doing this spring.

Mfelsk: Thanks, but no more chrome for me. I may change something else, but no more chrome.

FLST 06: Thanks, I should have done it sooner. I never thought about doing just the cover. Oh well too late now. LOL

Smitbrad: Thanks, and I’d tell you if I could. I looked it up, but they had the total together for the switches and front end. Sorry.

George C: Thanks, your bike looks great. It really pops.
