temperature may be an issue with paint. Powder coat and forget about it.

Looks **** hot mate. I know exactly what you mean about the headlight. Getting that gromet out was a pain in the ***. I can't describe what it was like getting it back in. I put it all back together after a 14hr night shift and left the metal ring that sits just behind the headlight out so had to pull all the wires back out again and fit the ring.

How'd u find the color match?

one of the weekend morning hot rod shows gave a demonstration of it.
+1 -- I saw the Fat Boy Lo for the first time today. That brushed satin silver doesn't work on that bike. They should have blacked it out or left those pieces chrome. So many good looking blacked out Fat Boys on these forums, I'm surprised Harley missed the mark on their attempt.

Now; the new Wide Glide is a home run. They must have had the "A" team designers working on the Dyna this year!

Looks great! They sell self etching primer in a spray can now. Works great for painting chrome.

Harley,
I keep going to your site and hope to see some pics of the floorboard extensions actually installed on a bike. Not just screws and some part.
