Default Corssbones pic

Here it is so far.
HD forward controls with black billet brake lever and shifter lever
Diamondblack grips pegs, and brake pad.
Combat Vets etched A/C cover on a HD stage 1 AL
Power Commander V
Bassani Road Rage
Brawler seat

I had wrapped the exhaust with black, but only had enough to do the head piped. There is about a " spot on the muffler that has no heat shield, so I rewrapped them with DEI Titanium wrap. I wasn't sure about the color, as its kind of bronze, but it looks awesome in the sun. This wrap isn't made of fiberglass, so you don't need gloves, didn't have to wet it, and it only smoked for about 20 minutes.

Next up is a Road 6 side mount, HD LED tail light, and black levers.
I just got an extra mount my buddy had, so I will be moving the reflectors to the forks. Next big upgrade is cams.....

Brett, looking good. Did you use black wrap on those pipes? If you want it a bit blacker get the DEI black silicone spray and hit it with that. It looks great as is, just thought I would mention it.

Actually no. I had the regular black DEI wrap on there and didn't spray it, and it faded QUICK!!!! I thought I'd give the DEI titanium a try. It looked grey/black in the pic, but its actually got more of a goldish tint to it. At first I didn't think I was going to like it, but in the sunlight it looks awesome!!!The DEI titanium wrap is supposed to not need to be sprayed. They say it doesn't fade or suffer most of the other side effect associated with fiberglass wrap. This stuff is made out of crushed lava rock.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I am trying to not copy you guys, but its difficult, there are some great looking bikes over here in the softail side, especially the crossbones. I thought I was going to really miss my Road King, but its less and less everyday.

On a side note, what is the height of the stock mini-apes? 10.5"? I am thinking there are some 12s or 14s in my future
