I figure I'll just go all Night Train like on the engine too, just haven't decided if I should powdercoat my engine parts or buy new, wrinkle black ones and recoup some of the money by selling the brushed chrome ones. Along with that, blacking out the forks and console and I'm also thinkin some black fishtails (without baffles, of course) and some springer style bags, but I'm not sure if I want to go fringed or not. Later on down the road (like in 2 years) I want to do a 21" spoke wheel (classic spokes, not fat spokes) up front and an 18" spoke in the back.

Of course, with all of this I am just planning, and dreaming...
So ironically I got a check in the mail yesterday that will cover the new exhaust. Definitely going with 39" unbaffled fishtails, I just need to decide by tomorrow whether I want to do chrome or black.

I actually got to meet Marisa Miller and get my photo taken with her. She also autographed the calendar, a v-rod pamplet, and a photo of my bike. I tried to let her manager or whoever he was to let her poise with my bike, but they claimed they didn't have time. Oh well, tried to push the envelope a little bit.

That's awesome! If I were in your shoes, I would go with Chrome. You don't have very much denim left on you bike at all and your risers are still chrome as well as a few stock parts left on the bike. I think the chrome would pop pretty well. The matte black wouldn't really go too much with anything else on the bike.

This is, of course, only my opinion. The decision is yours to make, you're putting up the cash.

By the way, how much are you lookin at for the cost of the pipes? I am lookin at the same ones, but in black.

Yeah I was leaning towards the chrome myself, mainly because the whole back end of the bike is black and I think the black pipes would be overkill. The cheapest place I could find those on the net is Phatperformanceparts.com and they are 764 shipped. I am actually going through Samson customer service this time.

I'd let her buy me dinner.
