New Night Train Mods

Well I finally got the courage to paint my lower sliders. Thanks to a couple of you guys that gave me advice. While I was at it I painted my bars too. I sanded them down with 400 grit sandpaper. Then sprayed two coats of Rustoleum Self Etching Primer. Then sprayed several coats of Rustoleum Semi Gloss black paint to the sliders and Rustoleum Flat on the bars. I also added the Tri-Bar L.E.D. Tail Light that I got new for $175 at local Harley shop that had it on a sale Table. Then I took the mirrors off.

The bars and the lowers look great (good match on the color on the lowers)...
I think It would look good if you paint the triples, maybe some bolts and nuts, and headlight shell too...

curious why you didn't run your wires internally sense you had it apart...

I am going with chrome lowers but powder coating my factory set, in case I want to go further towards the darkside

Looks great! It's on my to-do list as well but I'm going with some apes. The trees would look good black as well.

Why did you pull the mirrors?

Looks good man. It is definitely on my to do list. I was going to have them powdercoated, but the only guy around here that is any good wants $110. How long did it take you to pull them on and put them back on?
