Nice job! It looks great. Are you thinking about doing the whole fork?

now blacken the pipes with black header paint. but only the first half or the last half. will give a ghost look. do it on the computer first and see what looks best. i did that where the passenger pegs are so now the pipes look like short shots and the chrome tips
