Default Blacking out my crossbones

Well, as seeing winter has hit here in Colorado i thought it would be the best time to start on the winter stuff I have planned for my bike. Here is what has been done so far. Ceramic coated the heat sheilds, blacked out almost all the chrome pieces on the bike so far. Still need to tear off the heads so I can have them done as well as the kick stand. Well, here are pictures of what has been done so far.

2009 fatboy rear fender. I have an extra one for sale cheap if you want it. It is a straight up mod. Just bolt it up, or you can do like I did with welding the tail light area and make a custom one.

That was the plan. I still need to powder coat the kickstand and cam covers. I am still up in the air about doing the springer front end in black.

Nice very nice

only suggestion I would make is change the cover under the seat so it looks more blended in...maybe something sheet metal in the same black and finish as the frame and fenders
