Just finished the deal today. I traded my 07 Nightster for a new 2011 LO. Vivid Black, Black Rinehart Crossbacks, High Flow A/C and stage 1 download. I take delivery in 1-2 weeks max. I'll get pics up as soon as I can.

Not an exact match, but closer than the gloss that came on various pieces from the factory. AFAIK plastic can't be PC'd. The bake temp is ~400 deg. I didn't do any plastic. I stripped the bike of all non-denim black and had it PC'd.

I think I'm done with the PC work. It would be nice if HD would make more parts in black.
It would be better if they made more parts in denim black!

I won't do much customizing the first year...just spent a bunch of $$ gearing up the ol' lady and myself for the season.

But I do intend to get rid of the gloss black asap this year. Beasle, what's PC? I need to know Nice 'cya' on the gloss black also.

Looks great. You may want to think about getting rid of the reflectors. A hair dryer and 20 minutes will do it.

Hey guys, new here. Loving all the mods I have seen so far. Picked up a 2011 Lo on Friday, should be delivered in a week or two. Doing the v&h big shots staggered black and the tach/speedo combo. After I get it plan on doing the black primary cover and blacking out all the gloss.

Can't wait to get it this is my first bike.

Congrats brother! This bike has one strong following...

Since this is your first bike, remember to ask questions here, these guys know everything and have always come thru for me!
