Looks good, like a home grown version of an Exile cycle product.
Think its time for a little pin striping?

The Fenders like this Bloke will be on the bike some time this winter. The big problem is the price Exile wants. That back fender is around $449.00 & Front is $399.00 I am sure i could find less . Its just a matter of research.

Thanks guys ! I will let everyone know how the paint holds up. I am sure that touch is gonna be part of the weekly cleaning. I would like to paint the oil tank. Has anyone done this yet? How much work would it be? i am up for it. I think i may have that pc. I would think that the tank gets pretty hot... ?

Now you gotta paint the lowers to match. If you are going to do it, do it all the way.

looks good, much better than the fatboy lo. Have you looked in to metal etching primer? it preps chrome for painting. paint suppliers also have a few other products to etch chrome before painting.
one of the weekend morning hot rod shows gave a demonstration of it.
