Default New chrome swingarm update

Just about ready to put the new shiny chrome swingarm on, but, my problem is putting that black plastic fender extention back on ( splash guard) ..whatever some may call it. Do they sell a chrome one or a different one other than using that black plastic one again. I don't think it will look right with the chrome swingarm. Any pointers or advice would greatly be appreciated. Thanks ....Ray

Not sure what's available to buy, but any sheet metal shop can bend an exact copy of it out of polished 16 gauge stainless. Probably be a lot cheaper to especially if you know someone in the biz.

Saw these available in the Harley parts catalog. Held on with double-sided tape. Polished stainless steel.

Get a chrome splash guard and just leave the lower belt guard off.

Yes, thank you Chaz. are you using one? any problems with debris? Because it doesn't look like the sides bend out like the original black plastic. Just curious though... Looks like it fits in there flat . Will it be hard to put a radius in there? By the way.. Nice Ride you got there...Ray
